Fireworks & Drone Festival 2025 returns to Alexandra Palace

This autumn, Alexandra Palace is turning up the heat — and a few scares — as Halloween collides with Bonfire Night for a spectacular two-day celebration on Friday 31 October and Saturday 1 November.

Stop choosing fireworks or dress up: at Ally Pally, you can do both! The sky above the park will sparkle and shine with a spooky Halloween-themed fireworks and drone display, competing to give you thrills and chills all whilst lighting up the night!

Down below, things get even spookier. Head to the lower field to huddle around ghostly bonfires, take a torch-lit backstage ghost tour of the Palace’s atmospheric Victorian Theatre, and join in the Halloween fancy dress competition, where some frightfully good prizes are up for grabs.

Of course, no festival is complete without music. The Street Food Village Tent will be bouncing thanks to 90s garage legends DJ Luck & MC Neat, while the Great Hall becomes a buzzing Bavarian-style bierkeller (German Bier Festival), soundtracked by Oompah bands and big-name tribute acts — Taylor Swift on Friday and Dolly Parton on Saturday. Over in the Café de Pally, festival favourites Rhythm of the 90s will bring their anthemic live show, guaranteed to keep crowds dancing well into the night.

For families and thrill-seekers, there’s plenty more to explore: an old-school funfair, twinkling ice discos, and more than 50 food trucks and bars serving everything from hot street food to warming winter drinks.

With so much packed into one weekend, it’s no wonder Ally Pally lays claim to being London’s biggest Bonfire Night celebration.
