Fawkes in the Walks, the annual free firework display is back in King’s Lynn on Friday 7 November 2025.
The event and display, organised by the Borough Council of King's Lynn & West Norfolk, brings thousands of local residents, and visitors from near and far, to Lynn’s beautiful park to see a dazzling firework display, live entertainment and funfair.
The Walks, the beautiful park right in the centre of King’s Lynn, will be packed with stalls and rides from 6pm. There will be live music from Hayley Chart and headliners BEAR CLUB. Radio West Norfolk presenter Simon Rowe will entertain the crowd between the live sets.
The Deputy Mayor of King’s Lynn & West Norfolk, Cllr Steve Bearshaw, will start the countdown to the display at 8pm.
Cllr Sue Lintern, Cabinet member for Culture and Events, said:
“Our council has been organising this fantastically well-attended free event for the last 17 years. It has established itself as one of the most popular in the east of England. Many residents pop in to our town park to enjoy it, last year 20,000 people attended.
“Remember, remember, the seventh of November. We’ve planned an amazing firework display for everyone to enjoy in a controlled environment. It is by far the safest way to enjoy a fireworks display and I’m very pleased to see it is back with a bang this year.”
Fawkes in The Walks is free to attend. A voluntary collection will be made on the evening to help cover the cost of the event, and every donation is appreciated. The fireworks display and stage entertainment is free, charges may be made for other activities in the park.
Once again, the borough council is asking residents to use the hashtag #FawkesInTheWalks when sharing pictures of the night on social media channels.
After their popular performance last year, BEAR Club return for 2025

The East to West route in front of the Red Mount Chapel will be closed from 8am on Friday 7 November until 8am on Saturday morning to allow for a more aerial display this year.
The entrance to The Walks from Seven Sisters/Extons Road, the Library gates and County Court Road will be closed on the evening from 7:45pm. People planning to enter the park after 7:45pm are advised to use the Tennyson Avenue and Blackfriars Road entrances.
Permitted sellers will be inside the Walks, please support your local event by only using those inside the park for flashing glows and other novelties.
The most convenient car park for the event is the St James' multi-storey, and attendees are advised to use this, or other town centre car parks, please do not obstruct residential side streets as this could hamper emergency service access.
