Hip hip hooray, Blackheath's annual fireworks display is back for the first time since 2019! Funding woes meant that Lewisham Council's big free Guy Fawkes bonanza hit the dust. But now, it's teamed up with Slammin Events (the company behind Ally Pally's massive annual display) to bring a new, ticketed fireworks events to southeast London.
As well as a full fireworks display, there's an array of bells and whistles included in the £16 ticket price. These include live music by DJ Spoony and Heavy Beat Brass Band, interactive shows in a Big Top arena like gameshow Famous First Words and singalong spectacular Massaoke, and even standup performances from Big Belly Comedy Club.
Joining the festival atmosphere, 30 independent food and drink stalls will serve up refreshments – including hot potato legends Spud Bros and local craft beer at Craftworx. And there's a fairground with dodgems, hooplas and other exhilarating ways to fritter away your cash.
