Battersea Park's fireworks ran on Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 November, with Dulwich on 7 November. Lambeth held no display. Next year's dates go here first.

Bonfire night 2026 falls on Thursday 5 November, and Lambeth council is not putting on a display. It has not run one for years. The displays Clapham goes to are both on the weekend after: Battersea Park on Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 November, and Dulwich Sports Club in SE24 on Saturday 7 November. The Herne Hill Velodrome display on 31 October has been and gone, sold out.

Every fact below comes from the organisers’ own published material, first checked on 5 September and re-checked on 2 November 2026.

Updated 2 November: Battersea Park’s information page still lists every price tier from £10.60 and the same timings, with no sold-out notice for either night. Irvin Leisure still says there will be no tickets on the night at Dulwich. Herne Hill’s 31 October display is now past, and the section on it is cut down below.

Updated 28 September: Battersea Park has now published its 2026 dates, times and prices: Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 November, fireworks about 8.30pm and 7pm, tickets from £10.60.

Herne Hill Velodrome, Saturday 31 October: now past

The Friends of Herne Hill Velodrome ran their Halloween Fireworks on Saturday 31 October 2026 at the velodrome, 104 Burbage Road, SE24 9HE. It sold out by early October, with adult tickets at £13, and the Friends sold in advance only through their Ticket Tailor page. The Friends’ event page is where next year’s details will appear.

Dulwich Sports Club, Saturday 7 November, kids for a quid

Irvin Leisure runs Dulwich Fireworks at Dulwich Sports Club, Giant Arches Road, SE24 9HP, on Saturday 7 November 2026. Gates open at 5pm, live music starts at 5.30pm, and the fireworks go up around 7pm.

The draw is the “kid for a quid” price for under 12s, which is why it fills with local families. Irvin Leisure does not publish an adult price on the event page, only a booking link, so we are not quoting a figure. It does say clearly that there will be no tickets available on the night.

The club sits just over the boundary in Southwark, despite the Herne Hill postcode, which is why it appears on nothing Lambeth publishes.

Battersea Park, Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 November

Battersea Park Fireworks is the big one, run by the not for profit Enable with Wandsworth Council, and it is the display most of Clapham and Stockwell actually goes to. Enable has now published the 2026 details on its information page, read again on 2 November. The two nights are different shows with different soundtracks.

Saturday 7 November Sunday 8 November
Car parks close 3pm 2pm (park businesses too)
Park closes for setup 4pm 3pm
Gates open 6pm 4.30pm
Headline act Rudimental DJ set, 7.30pm Lords of Lightning, 5.45pm
Last entry 8pm 6.30pm
Fireworks (approx) 8.30pm 7pm
Show ends 11pm 9.30pm

Enable’s line-up on its Saturday and Sunday pages adds Fiesta Latina with Conjunto Sabroso and a Disco Ceilidh after the display on Saturday, and the Taylor Swift tribute Fearlessly Taylor plus a Pop Anthems Afterparty with DJ Josh Lovatt on Sunday. The display itself is by Titanium Pyrotechnics, the firm behind the Mayor of London’s New Year’s Eve shows from 2023 to 2025. Rides are half price and drinks £5 from 6pm to 7pm.

Enable lists these prices, all sold through Kaboodle, with a booking fee on top:

  • Super Early Bird, 16 and over: £10.60
  • Early Bird, 16 and over: £13.10
  • General Admission, 16 and over: £16.70
  • Late Release, 16 and over: £15.90
  • Final Release, 16 and over: £18.10
  • Youth, 5 to 15: £11.50
  • Under 5s: free, but they still need a ticket

That is the list exactly as Enable publishes it, including a Late Release price below the General Admission one. The page does not say which tiers have sold, so the price you see at checkout is the one that counts. Tickets are advance only, with none on the gate, and they are non-refundable and non-transferable. There is no resale or waiting list. Up to four under 18s can come in with each adult, there are bag checks and no re-admission, and you cannot bring food, glass, alcohol or sparklers in.

Last year’s Access for All scheme, which offered discounted tickets to eligible residents on means tested benefits, has no page on this year’s site: the old address now returns “page not found”. Enable has not said whether it is running again. Disabled visitors can apply for a free Essential Companion ticket and a place on the accessible viewing platform through the accessibility page.

Why Lambeth has nothing of its own

This is the question people actually type, so here is the answer with dates on it. Lambeth’s free Brockwell Park display was scrapped years ago. A commercial operator, Lambeth Fireworks, then ran a paid event in the park, and Brixton Buzz covered the last one on Saturday 3 November 2018. There was no display in Brockwell Park in 2019, and the gap was filled that year by the Brixton Soup Kitchen putting on a free community display on 5 November. In December 2020 the council was advertising for a commercial partner to run fifty event days a year in Brockwell Park, a November fireworks display for 40,000 paying customers among them. That did not produce one.

Nothing has changed for 2026. Lambeth’s own events calendar at event.lambeth.gov.uk, checked on 5 September, lists no park event after Oktoberfest on the Common on 9 October. Nothing in November, nothing in December. Londonist’s London-wide 2026 round-up, last updated 4 September, names no Lambeth display either.

Parking, and getting there

  • Dulwich Sports Club: no parking on site; walk up from Herne Hill station.
  • Battersea Park: no parking in the park apart from a few blue badge bays on Prince of Wales Drive near Alexandra Gate, first come first served. That road closes at 5pm on Saturday and 4pm on Sunday, so blue badge holders show their badge to stewards. The park car parks close at 3pm Saturday and 2pm Sunday. Enable points people at Battersea Park, Queenstown Road, Clapham Junction and Victoria stations, Battersea Power Station on the Northern line, and buses 19, 170, 319 and 345. Cycle parking is at Albert Gate only, and Enable suggests Albert Gate as the quieter entrance if you are coming from Clapham Junction.

Assume the residential streets around both will be full and stewarded. If you are driving anywhere locally that week, our parking page sets out Lambeth’s controlled parking zones, their hours and what the bays cost, and the roadworks and travel page carries the closures and diversions currently in force.

Southwark has published no road closure order for the Dulwich display, and none was in force for it last year.

What we will update, and when

  • Whether the Dulwich adult ticket price appears on Irvin Leisure’s page.
  • Whether Battersea’s Access for All discount returns, and any sold-out notice for either night.
  • Any late Lambeth or Brixton community display. In 2019 the Brixton Soup Kitchen’s free display was announced on 31 October, four days out, so a November surprise is not impossible.

Frequently asked questions

Are there fireworks in Clapham or Brixton in 2026?

No. Lambeth council is running no bonfire night display, and none is listed on its events calendar for November. The nearest still to come are Dulwich Sports Club, SE24, on Saturday 7 November and Battersea Park on 7 and 8 November. Herne Hill Velodrome’s display was on 31 October.

When were the Herne Hill Velodrome fireworks 2026?

Saturday 31 October 2026, a Halloween display at the velodrome, 104 Burbage Road, SE24 9HE, with gates at 5pm and fireworks at 7pm. It sold out weeks ahead; adult tickets were £13, in advance only.

Why did Brockwell Park stop having fireworks?

The free display was scrapped years ago. A commercial operator, Lambeth Fireworks, ran a paid event in the park up to Saturday 3 November 2018, and there was no display in 2019. Lambeth advertised for a commercial partner to run a 40,000-capacity November display in December 2020 and nothing came of it.

Is there parking at any of the displays?

No. Dulwich Sports Club has none, and Battersea Park has none beyond a few disabled bays, with its car parks shut from 3pm on Saturday and 2pm on Sunday. Walk, cycle or take the train.
