Merton Parks Will Be Backdrop For Firework Shows


Events will include a funfair and more

Two of London's most popular fireworks displays take place in Wimbledon Park and Morden Park this November:

Thursday 5 November, Wimbledon Park

Saturday 7 November, Morden Park

There will be two themed performances at each venue. Both events have a funfair, refreshments and stalls open until 10pm.

Like last year, tickets can be bought online ahead of the event and at a cheaper price. A limited number will be available on the night, but people are encouraged to book in advance to avoid possible disappointment at the gates. Children aged four and under get in free.

Merton's cabinet member for community and culture, Councillor Nick Draper, said: "You won’t find a fireworks and bonfire display like Merton’s anywhere else in London. Each show will have great fireworks, music, fun and attractions – and as Morden Park, with its natural bowl setting, and Wimbledon Park, with its classical Capability Brown-designed openness, are very different venues, you have the choice of either (or both!). Come and share the experience - and make sure to book your tickets online to save money. I look forward to seeing you all there."
