Halloween is just around the corner which means the country’s biggest fireworks and drone festival will once more take over north London. For two nights only, on 31 October and 1 November, ‘Ally Pally’ will play host to a spectacular drone show, fireworks display, bonfire, fancy dress competition and live entertainment spread across 196 acres.
New for 2025 will be specially-curated Ghost Tours of the Palace’s spooky Victorian theatre – where you can step into the shadows of the historic cultural scene for a chilling, after-dark journey that pulls back the curtain on centuries-old legends, terrifying tales of ghostly encounters, and the sinister origins of theatrical superstitions still whispered about today.
German bier festival
Some of London’s best street food, cocktail and craft beer vendors make up the open-air StrEATlife Village, which will be soundtracked by a line-up of DJs and live music, and headlined by garage legends DJ Luck & MC Neat.
Meanwhile the Palace’s iconic Great Hall will host the UK’s largest German bier (beer) festival, with oompah bands, live music and lederhosen! Taylor Swift tribute act, Fearlessly Taylor, headlines Friday night, with Dolly Party tribute act, The Dolly Show, on Saturday night.
Tickets sell out quickly and need to be purchased in advance, so don’t miss out. More information about the event can be found here.
