Blackheath Fireworks Expands to 40,000 Capacity for Bonfire Night 2026

The Blackheath Fireworks event, one of London's biggest Bonfire Night celebrations, returns to Blackheath Common in south-east London on Saturday 7 November 2026 with a significantly expanded footprint. Capacity has been raised to 40,000 attendees, up from 30,000 in 2025, allowing for a larger site with more food stalls, more bars, and additional entertainment spaces. Garage stars DJ Luck and MC Neat will perform in the Big Top tent alongside club veteran Brandon Block. Massaoke — the mass karaoke experience — returns for a second year alongside the Lords of Lightning illuminations show. A lineup of comedians will also appear inside the Big Belly Comedy Club. New for 2026 is the People's Stage, which will platform performances from local talent. Ticket prices range from £5.50 for children aged 0–10 up to £17.60 for adults (16+), with a range of family ticket options also available. The event is run by Slammin' Events alongside Lewisham Council. Tickets have just gone on sale and are expected to sell out quickly.
