Alexandra Palace Fireworks and Drone Festival Returns Over Bonfire Night Weekend

The Alexandra Palace Fireworks Festival is back for 2026 on 7 and 8 November — marking the first year the annual event spans a full Saturday-and-Sunday weekend rather than Friday and Saturday. Tickets went on sale on Friday 4 September and start from £18 per day, with a final-release price of £19.50; children under 10 pay £5. Early-bird allocations are already sold out.

Saturday 7 November brings a headline DJ set from Eats Everything and a drone show by Celestial — Britain's Got Talent runners-up — who will send hundreds of choreographed drones into the sky to a specially curated soundtrack ahead of the fireworks at 8 pm. Inside the Great Hall, a German Bier Festival will feature oompah bands, live music, and a Queen tribute act, with funfair rides, ice skating, and street food available throughout the day.

Sunday 8 November is a newly introduced Family Fun Day, moving the fireworks and drone show to an earlier 6 pm slot. Families can toast marshmallows at a firepit, enjoy a Junior Jungle Kids Rave, and find street food with children's menus and sweet treats. The day also features BARRIOKE, hosted by EastEnders and Extras actor Shaun Williamson. Both days include funfair rides, ice skating, and street food, making Alexandra Palace one of London's biggest Bonfire Night destinations for 2026.
