Fireworks set to wow Hackney with pyromusical spectacular
A spectacle of colour and music is set to wow the borough in November with the return of the Hackney Fireworks Show.
The family-friendly celebrations will be held in Clissold Park, Stoke Newington, on Saturday 5 November, following on from last year’s sell-out success.
Mood lighting will give the park a magical atmosphere, while street-based performances will animate the pathways around the park. A children’s funfair and food and drink stalls will also accompany the 2016 pyromusical display which will see fireworks synchronised to music.
Tickets for the display are now available and can be purchased through Eventbrite. Tickets cost £7.50 for adults and £2.50 for children who live in the borough; and £8.50 and £3.50 respectively for non-residents.
The Council is once again giving away 300 free tickets through two offers: one for residents and one for Hackney-based registered charities. To enter the draw to win one of 100 pairs of tickets, residents should email park.events@hackney.gov.uk with their name, postcode and the subject title: ‘Residents Free Tickets Prize Draw’ before Friday 7 October. Winners will be notified by 8 October.
Hackney-based registered charities are also invited to apply for 100 free tickets for their service users. Email park.events@hackney.gov.uk with the name of the organisation, registered charity number, postcode, and subject title ‘Concessionary Tickets’.
Cllr Feryal Demirci, Cabinet Member for Neighbourhoods, Transport and Parks, said: “Last year’s firework display was a big success, the show brings a magical atmosphere to Clissold Park, beautifully lighting the night sky as winter sets in. Hackney’s pyromusical is a highlight of the borough’s social calendar.”
Gates open at 5.30pm and the display starts at 7.00pm. The display is 20 minutes and is suitable for all ages. Entertainment will be weather-dependant.
The fireworks will be designed to generate low noise levels to ensure the welfare of the animals at Clissold Park is not affected as a result of the event.
