Beckenham, West Wickham, Chislehurst and Bromley High all fire on Saturday 7 November. All four are on sale now from £12, and none sells at the gate.

Bonfire night 2026 falls on Thursday 5 November, and nothing in the borough is on that day. Four displays have published a 2026 date and all four have picked Saturday 7 November. None of them is run by Bromley Council, and none of them sells tickets at the gate. Turn up on the night without one and you are not getting in.

Updated 1 October: Chislehurst Rotary has announced its display (gates 5pm, fireworks 7.30pm), Beckenham tickets are on sale at £18 for adults and its main display has moved to 7.30pm, and West Wickham’s online sales open today.

Everything below was read on 1 October 2026 from the organisers’ own websites and ticket listings.

The four confirmed for Saturday 7 November

Display Where Gates Fireworks Tickets
Beckenham Charity Fireworks Croydon Road Recreation Ground, Beckenham 4.30pm 6pm quieter display, 7.30pm main On sale, adults £18 plus fees
West Wickham Fireworks Club Langley, 2 Hawksbrook Lane, BR3 3SR 4pm 6.30pm On sale from 1 October, adults £12
Chislehurst Rotary Fireworks Chislehurst Recreation Ground, Empress Drive, BR7 5BQ 5pm 7.30pm On sale, adults £12 to 17 October
Bromley High Fireworks Bromley High School, Blackbrook Lane, BR1 2TW 5.45pm 7.30pm to 8pm On sale, £13 to £33

Beckenham and West Wickham are 1.15 miles apart, so they are a genuine either-or rather than a double bill. Chislehurst and Bromley High School are on the other side of the borough, and three of the four main displays go up at 7.30pm, so this is a night to pick one.

Beckenham Charity Fireworks

The borough’s biggest display is run by the 5th Beckenham South Scout Group, registered charity 1011301. It has supported local causes since 1946, and every person running it is a volunteer. The organisers say they have raised over £250,000 in the past seven years (beckenhamfireworks.com). Their own charities page puts it at “over £200,000 in recent years”, so the two figures count different windows. Recent beneficiaries include St Christopher’s Hospice, Living Well Bromley’s food bank, Bromley Brighter Beginnings, Bromley Youth Trust and Bromley and Croydon Women’s Aid (charities).

There are two displays on one ticket. The 6pm one is quieter and aimed at smaller children; the main display is at 7.30pm, a quarter of an hour later than the time the organisers gave in September. Both are set to music, and you can watch either or both, but there is no re-admittance, so you stay in the park through the gap.

Tickets and prices

Tickets are on sale now, only through the organisers’ website and Fixr, which they call “our sole ticketing supplier”; tickets bought on Facebook and elsewhere, they warn, “are often scams or frauds” (tickets). The 2026 prices, from the organisers’ home page:

  • Adults (14 and over): £18 plus fees, £19.08 in all
  • Children (5 to 13): £6 plus fees, £6.36
  • Concessions: £12.50 plus fees, £13.25
  • Under-fives: free with an adult

That is a pound more for an adult than 2025’s £17, as reported by London Now. Previous customers and mailing list members have been emailed a discount code. Ticket help goes to Fixr, not the scouts (FAQ).

The rules that catch people out

  • No tickets on the gate, at any price. Park capacity is “strictly limited for safety and to avoid overcrowding”, and once it is reached no more are issued.
  • Ticket sales are final, with no refunds except if the event itself is cancelled, in which case the full ticket price is returned.
  • Concessions are narrow: state pension or disability benefits only, and bring proof.
  • A carer goes free with a paying ticket holder, but you must buy your ticket first, then apply for the carer ticket before 4 November. Carers without an issued ticket are not admitted.
  • No pets, alcohol, sparklers or fireworks. Bags are subject to search.
  • Bring cash. Not all rides and stalls take cards, and you cannot leave and come back.

Two licensed bars and around twenty food traders are on site, from a hog roast and a Greek souvlaki stall to churros and Malaysian rice bowls (food and drink).

Access

Two disabled viewing areas, one on grass at the front of the display and one on hard standing near the control tent, plus disabled toilets. Wheelchair users should use the Croydon Road gate. No seating is provided, and folding chairs are permitted in those two areas only (accessibility).

Getting there

The park is at 319 Croydon Road, with entrances on Croydon Road and Village Way. Clock House station is an 11 minute walk, Beckenham Junction 15, and the buses are the 54, 194, 227, 353, 354, 358 and 367. There is covered bike parking in the Beckenham Beacon car park. The organisers’ own advice is “we recommend arriving on foot”.

If you must drive, the Village Way multi-storey is at one of the park entrances and is the best-value long stay in the borough: £1.00 for the first hour, £1.80 for two and £3.30 for four, charging until 9pm and a flat £1.50 after that. Do not plan on parking on the street. Beckenham’s controlled parking zones BEC and F operate 8.30am to 8pm every day, which covers the whole of the gates-open window on a Saturday. Rates and zones are on our parking in Bromley page.

West Wickham Fireworks at Club Langley

Rotary West Wickham fires its Fireworks and Music Spectacular the same night, at Club Langley. Gates open at 4pm and the display starts at 6.30pm, with hot food, snacks, mulled wine, coffee and a licensed bar beforehand (westwickhamfireworks.com).

Tickets are advance only, with none on the gate this year, and go on sale from 1 October 2026:

  • Adults £12.00
  • Children £6.00, under 18
  • Under-fives free
  • Family ticket £30 for two adults and two children, against a normal £36

Online sales are capped at 1,500 tickets, because most of the allocation goes through local schools, and online sales close at 4pm on Saturday 7 November if they have not sold out earlier. Tickets are also sold in person at Matthews The Jewellers, 22-24 High Street, West Wickham, at Club Langley itself, and through Clare House, Hawes Down, Balgowan, Oak Lodge, Marion Vian, Unicorn and Valley primary schools, Highfields Infants and Juniors, Eden Park High School, Langley Park School for Boys, and the 6th Beckenham Brownies and Guides (where to buy tickets).

The organisers are blunt about driving: “THERE IS NO PARKING ON SITE SO PLEASE USE PUBLIC TRANSPORT OR WALK.” You can walk in from the South Eden Park Road end or the Wickham Way end, and it is a short walk from Eden Park station. Proceeds go to St Christopher’s Hospice, Demelza House Hospice, Disability Snowsports and Magpie Dance among others.

Bromley High Fireworks

The Bromley High Parents’ Association display at Blackbrook Lane, BR1 2TW is live and bookable. Its Eventbrite listing carries firm times: gates 5.45pm, display 7.30pm to 8pm, with the funfair, licensed bar and food stalls running until 10pm (Bromley High Fireworks 2026).

Two numbers sit in that listing’s own booking data:

  • Tickets run from £13 to £33.
  • Sales open on 28 September 2026 and close on 4 November, four days before the event.

The organisers bill it as “Bromley’s Biggest Fireworks Display”, which is their claim rather than a measured one, and Beckenham would dispute it. Refunds are not offered. Londonist records this as the sixth year the school has run it. Blackbrook Lane is a residential street between Bickley and Bromley Common with no large car park, so walking in from Bickley station or being dropped short of the gates is the realistic approach.

Chislehurst Rotary Fireworks

Chislehurst Rotary has now announced its Charity Fireworks Spectacular for Saturday 7 November on Chislehurst Recreation Ground, after a September in which its ticketing page and club diary were both empty. The organisers’ own site gives the running order (chislehurstfireworks.com):

  • 5pm gates open, with food trucks, a beer tent run by The Cockpit micropub and an under-12s funfair
  • 5.30pm DJ Andy Will
  • 7.30pm the display, by Fireworks Crazy
  • 8pm music until 9.30pm

It is advance tickets only, online, with nothing sold at the gate, and tickets are non-refundable. The organisers say they “have held the ticket prices at the same level as last year”, and the club’s own fireworks page on the Rotary site sets out the tiers (Chislehurst Rotary):

Booking window Adult Child Family (2 adults, 2 children)
Super early bird, to 17 October £12 £7.50 £25
Early bird, 18 October to 1 November £14 £9 £30
Late booking, from 2 November £18 £10 £40

No bookings are taken after 10am on 7 November. Children under 14 must be with an adult. That club page still carries a 2025 heading above its 2026 date, so treat the prices as the organisers’ stated level and check the figure at checkout.

Getting in. The main entrance is on Empress Drive, off Willow Grove near Sainsbury’s, and is the step-free one; Walden Road is the better gate from Elmstead Woods, and there is a third via Victoria Road. The path from Red Hill by the library is closed for entry and used only as an exit. The organisers ask everyone to be inside by 7pm. There is no parking on the Rec or on Empress Drive: the three RingGo car parks are Hornbrook House, the High Street car park behind Sainsbury’s, and Red Hill behind the library. Buses 61, 160, 161, 162 and 273 stop about five minutes’ walk away, and Elmstead Woods station is 15 to 20 minutes on foot. No pets except assistance dogs, no outside alcohol, no glass, no sparklers and no drones.

Crystal Palace Park: no display on the programme

Crystal Palace Park is in the borough and once held one of London’s oldest fireworks nights. There is no 2026 display on the park’s own listings. On 3 September the Crystal Palace Park what’s on page ran from Zippos Circus in early September to a cyclo-cross round on 27 September, with a museum exhibition dated through to 20 December, and carried nothing for bonfire night. The park’s site is now crystalpalacepark.org.uk; the old crystalpalaceparktrust.org address redirects there.

Roads, and the town centre

No road closure orders had been published for any of the four displays by 1 October. Chislehurst’s organisers say parking will not be allowed on Empress Drive. All four run inside parks or school grounds and are entered on foot from ordinary streets, so the pinch point is parked cars rather than closures. Anything that does get published shows up on our Bromley roadworks and travel page.

The only other fireworks in the town centre this autumn are the finale of the Your Bromley Christmas switch-on on Sunday 15 November, which is free and needs no ticket. That is a week after bonfire night and covered on our Bromley Christmas lights switch-on page.

What we will update, and when

All four displays now have a confirmed date, times and prices. We check this page again in the week before the displays. For the rest of the borough’s autumn, see our things to do in Bromley page and the Churchill Theatre pantomime.
