Fawkes in the Walks fireworks display is currently planned to go ahead this Friday, 10 November but residents are advised to check borough council social media channels for any last minute changes.
The free display has taken place in The Walks for the last 15 years. Entertainment starts on stage at 6pm with music from Vex. Bear Club will perform live from 7pm and the fireworks are scheduled to start at 8pm, with more music to follow. All hosted by Simon Rowe.
Please keep following the official borough council social media channels and this website should anything change between now and Friday night.
Information for people attending Fawkes in the Walks
Do:
- wear wellies or waterproof boots and waterproof clothing.
- tread carefully – it’s muddy and therefore slippery under foot.
- ensure children are accompanied by an adult.
- enter The Walks from Seven Sisters/Extons Road, the Library gates and County Court Road by 7:45pm on the event. The Tennyson Avenue and Blackfriars Road entrances will remain open throughout.
- use town centre car parks. The most convenient car park for the event is the St James' multi-storey.
- support this local event by only purchasing flashing glows and other novelties from the permitted sellers inside the park.
Don’t:
- bring pets to the park during the event.
- bring your own private fireworks and sparklers - they are not permitted in The Walks.
- obstruct residential side streets as this could hamper emergency service access. Please use car parks mentioned above.
