Family Area food and drink – If you have the little ones in tow or even have big kids in the family then make sure you visit the family area. Choose from numerous food and drink options with kid friendly portions, music, cabaret, a funfair for the thrill-seekers.
Other Food & Drink – As well as the designated areas there will be plenty of stalls and traders dotted all around the site, with food and drink options to suit every taste even those fussy ones.
Bonfire – To start the proceedings and a new spectacle to the festival is the lighting of the bonfire. Be mesmerised as the fire performers bring the spectacular theatrics just before the official lighting of the bonfire that will dwarf all others that you have seen. A 30-foot effigy will burn at the very top of the bonfire designed by local young people as part of an Alexandra Palace learning project working with local artists.
Fireworks – this is our favourite part. The ally pally is renowned for its spectacular fireworks display and will be lighting up the London skyline once again this year as it has done for the last 150 years. The pyro musical will be to a special soundtrack put together by Radio1 and BBC6 radio presenter Rob De Bank the person behind bestival and camp bestival.
