South London Fireworks Displays 2022 - Lewisham Children & Family Centre

WIMBLEDON PARK FIREWORKS 2022: Merton Council runs two official firework shows, the first of which is the Wimbledon Park fireworks display. There’s a food village and funfair on site, and two displays in one night — the earlier (6.45pm) is aimed at families, with a pop music soundtrack, while the latter (8.30pm) is more for adults, with a ‘Kings and Queens’ music theme. 4 November

MORDEN PARK FIREWORKS 2022: Merton’s second display is in Morden Park, the following day. It’s a similar set-up to the Wimbledon event above, with food stalls, a funfair, and two different displays in one evening. 5 November

BECKENHAM FIREWORKS 2022: Croydon Road Recreation Ground is the venue for Beckenham’s fireworks display, organised by and raising money for the 5th Beckenham South Scout Group and other local causes. Stuff your face with paella, burgers, hot dogs and candy floss… though maybe check out the funfair rides before you tuck in. There’s no bonfire at this one, and tickets are available on the gate on the night, (as well as in advance) — ideal if you’re a last-minute planner. 5 November

DANSON PARK FIREWORKS 2022: Welling Round Table’s fireworks display in Danson Park, Bexley, raises money for local causes. The 25-minute spectacular works its magic over the park’s lake, choreographed to music. While you’re waiting for the whizzbangs to start (8pm), get stuck into the funfair and food and drink stalls. 5 November

BROMLEY FIREWORKS 2022: Bromley High School’s grounds host a firework display for the second time, along with funfair rides, food stalls and a bar serving serving real ale, cider and prosecco. 5 November

DULWICH FIREWORKS 2022: The ‘kids for a quid’ offer is back for the fireworks at Dulwich Sports Club — making it popular with local families. The 20-minute display is accompanied by the likes of burgers, Indian, and pizza — washed down with ale or mulled wine. 5 November

CARSHALTON FIREWORKS 2022: Wallington and Carhsalton Round Table is lighting the fuse for the fireworks display in Carshalton Park — which also incorporates a light and laser show ahead of the main display, replacing the traditional bonfire. 5 November

BATTERSEA PARK FIREWORKS 2022: One of the biggest displays in the capital, Battersea Park’s fireworks take place across two nights. Saturday night is a traditional fireworks event, with bonfire, sing-along fireworks display, and autumnal food and drink stalls. Sunday night is the family-friendly event — think earlier start time, light installation instead of a bonfire, fireworks display, and sweet treats at Sweetieland. Both events take environmental considerations seriously — no single-use plastic will be issued, and fireworks provider Titanium Fireworks is partnered with a UK tree planting scheme to offset the footprint of all explosives and their journey to the event. 5-6 November

“My child and I have really enjoyed coming to Little Explorers. It has helped my child to get used to see other babies and have interaction with them, which has been really important for him after the pandemic.”

“It's absolutely fab to be able to have access to all of the Domestic Abuse services in one place and to just click on a link to get to the website.”

“The Children Centre is our favourite place to come, we have been coming here since my child was 6 months old, he is now 4 years old and is still enjoying! Well done staff”

“I have just found the ‘taking care of ourselves’ section, which is massively important for us all, especially compassion fatigue.”

“The help and support that my family support worker gave me was above and beyond, she was always there to listen to me and make me feel like I was good enough and I was being heard.”

“The Outreach Team have such outgoing, friendly and fun personalities and made each Outdoor Learning session a great experience.”

“The Explorers session has helped my child a lot with his communication and his development. It’s really been impactful for him; we are really grateful to have this opportunity to attend the session and meet other parents as well.”

“The sessions help my daughter with speaking English, as well as helping her to listen and follow directions. I am very happy, my baby is very happy, and I feel relief when I come.”

“The Children Centre is very beneficial for my child, she has developed lots of skills e.g., sharing toys and naming colours. Also, the staff are very friendly and helpful.”
