An events company has applied to host 29,999 people at the returning Blackheath annual fireworks display. The display last took place before the pandemic and was cancelled in subsequent years because of council financial pressures. The council has partnered with Slammin' Events, organiser of Alexandra Palace Fireworks, to stage the return. Plans promise a "show stopping" fireworks presentation with on-site entertainment and market stalls. The event is planned as a one-day weekend annual fixture between late October and the second weekend of November. This year's date is listed as 1 November from 16:00 to 22:30 GMT and will be ticketed, with ticket details due in September.
An events company in charge of the return of Blackheath's annual fireworks display has applied to host 29,999 people at the event. The last time the display took place was before the pandemic. It has been scrapped every year since due to financial pressures faced by the council, said the Local Democracy Reporting Service. After confirming last month that the event would return, the council has partnered with Slammin' Events who organises Alexandra Palace Fireworks.
We know residents have to leave Lewisham each autumn to seek firework displays elsewhere in London and have been eager to find a way to bring back the Blackheath Fireworks. Now our residents can enjoy fireworks here at home in the borough and invite visitors to join. We're excited to partner with a leading events company to make this happen and are committed to making this return as accessible and affordable as we can.
