1,000 concession tickets for Blackheath Fireworks available for low-income Lewisham families

Blackheath Fireworks is back with a bang on Saturday 1 November from 5-10.30pm, marking its return after a six-year break. As part of our commitment to making the event as inclusive and accessible as possible, we have worked with organisers Slammin Events to offer 1,000 tickets at a 25% discount to low-income families across the borough.

These concession tickets will be distributed through the Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme, which supports children and young people who receive benefits-related free school meals. Eligible families will receive a unique booking code via the Council’s HAF delivery partners and tickets will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.

Councillor Sakina Sheikh – Cabinet Member for Communities, Culture, Sports and Libraries – said:

"We know how nostalgic Blackheath Fireworks are to our residents. That’s why we’ve been keen to bring them back through a new partnership. We want to ensure this iconic event remains inclusive and to help achieve this we are offering 1,000 concession tickets to low-income families.”

“Blackheath Fireworks have always been about bringing the community together to have fun, and it’s that spirit of celebration that so many have missed. We hope you can join us for what promises to be a brilliant evening of entertainment!”

Blackheath Fireworks promises an unforgettable evening for all ages, with a spectacular fireworks display set to music as the centrepiece at around 8pm. Visitors can also enjoy live music performances, DJs including Radio 2’s Spoony, a mass singalong, comedy acts, and a funfair – making it a full night of entertainment for the whole family.

Tickets for the general public are on sale now:

  • £16 for adults
  • £10 for 10 to 15-year-olds
  • £5 for under-10s
  • Family tickets start at £40

Early booking is strongly recommended to avoid disappointment: blackheathfireworks.com.
