Head to Ravenscourt Park for This Year's Fireworks


Event on 2 November includes two displays, fun fair and food stalls

This year's fireworks display is at Hammersmith's Ravenscourt Park on Saturday 2 November.

There will be no fireworks in Fulham's Bishops Park
due to the ongoing building works at Fulham FC's Craven Cottage.

The Ravenscourt Park fireworks will have two big displays – one for children’s display, followed by the main event.

The family fun starts from 4pm with a fun fair, along with a host of food stalls and bars.

Here is the timetable:

Event time – 4pm-10pm
Children’s firework display – 6.30pm
Main firework display – 8.30pm

H&F Council says gates close at 8pm so there is time to clear the way for people who want to leave after the main display has taken place.

For this reason, there is strictly no admittance to anyone (including advanced ticket holders) after 8pm.

Advance tickets, available now, cost £8.30. You can buy tickets here.

Admission is free for children under five, and also for wheelchair users and those with mobility issues and their helper.

Limited tickets, also priced £8.30 will be available to buy on the night, but the best way to guarantee entry and avoid the queue for the box office is to buy your tickets in advance.

Admission is free for children under five, and also for wheelchair users and those with mobility issues and their helper.

There will be live music, fire performers, a funfair, food stalls and new bars serving up a wider selection of drinks than ever before. You will be able to pay by card at the bar, food stalls and ticket box office.

Ravenscourt Park entrances are on Ravenscourt Avenue (junction of King Street), and Paddenswick Road (near junction of Goldhawk Road).
