Don't miss out there will not be any for sale at the event

The spectacular Battersea Park fireworks display – hailed as one of the Capital’s finest – will be on November 3.

This year for the first time all tickets must be bought in advance - none will be available on the door. This is to prevent overcrowding and ensure spectators can enjoy the display in safety.

The theme will be London Celebrations and the display will be fired by award-winning pyrotechnicians Pains Fireworks.

Gates open at 6pm, the bonfire will be lit at 7.30pm and the display starts at 8pm. A large food court and bar will open from 6pm, offering a wide range of refreshments.

Wandsworth culture spokesman , Councillor Jonathan Cook, said:
"We are expecting Battersea Park to once again host one of the best fireworks displays seen in London. The safety and comfort of spectators is our priority, and we would urge anyone who wants to come along to what I am sure will be another fantastic event to ensure they buy their ticket in advance and travel by public transport."

Tickets bought up to October 28 - £6.50
Tickets bought up to November 2 - £8
