Alexandra Palace fireworks festival has sold 50,000 tickets, with 5 days to go.

Taking place this Saturday 7 November, the festival offers a fireworks and laser show set across panoramic views of London.

Ticket holders will experience a parade by Glastonbury’s legendary Mutoid Waste, the lighting of a bonfire, a street food and craft beer village and two funfairs.

Families can retreat to a dedicated zone with special activities for the children and more space to enjoy a great view of the fireworks.

Louise Stewart, chief executive of Alexandra Park commented, “The excitement from the public has been fantastic.”

There are no tickets available on the night.
