London fireworks tonight: Full timings for Morden Park firework display tonight
Here’s everything you need to know about the Morden Park Firework Display in London tonight (November 5th) - including ticket info and timings.
Expect bangs, whizzes and sparkles galore tonight as the annual fireworks display returns to Modern Park.
Organised by Merton Council, the spectacular display is set to be ‘bigger and better than ever’ - with not one but two dazzling musical displays.
The fun continues down on the ground too, with a funfair, food stalls and Bonfire Night entertainment.
The first show, which kicks off at 6:30pm, is aimed at families with younger children, while the later display at 8:30pm is designed for all ages, featuring extra loud bangs, pops, and whooshes.
Here’s a breakdown of everything you need to know ahead of tonight’s event, including key timings and ticket information.
Do I need a ticket for Merton Park fireworks?
Tickets for the Merton Park firework display must be purchased in advance, and there are no ticket sales available at the gate. Children under 4 years old can enter for free.
Tickets are valid only for the time slot you book (early show or late show) and must be presented when you enter (either printed or on your phone).
It’s worth noting that parking is not available, and organisers strongly recommend using public transport, walking, or cycling.
Key timings
- Gates open - 5.15pm

Expect two distinct shows under the sky above Morden Park, each set to a musical soundtrack and bursting with colour.
Beyond the fireworks, there’s a full-blown funfair, a street food village with a wide variety of treats, a bar for adults, and plenty of festivity.
Bear in mind that the earlier slot is especially suitable for young families looking to enjoy the show and leave before the later crowds arrive. The later slot will be more theatrical and lively. It’s a good idea to avoid queues and secure a good viewing spot.
Stay warm and bring sensible footwear (grass can get muddy). Remember that the park grounds will be busy, so arrive early to make the most of the rides and food before the spectacle begins.
