Alexandra Park Fireworks: Everything you need to know including timings and parking

The event is usually held in Cosham at King George V Playing Fields but the construction that is currently taking place there is the reason for the decision to move the location to two sites.

Alexandra Park is one of the locations where the event will now take place and it will host the display on November 1. The event will start at 7pm and there has been a reduction in the size of the display due to health and safety concerns following forecasts of strong winds.

There will no longer be live music or entertainment as a result of the weather but food and drink will still be on offer.

Councillor Steve Pitt, Leader of Portsmouth City Council, with portfolio responsibility for Culture, Leisure & Economic Development, said: "Our annual firework event is cherished by the people of Portsmouth, and this year, we're thrilled to bring it to both the north and south of the city. This move is a result of the construction work at King George V playing fields, and we're eager to explore whether this can become a new tradition for the city.”

The event is free to attend.

Parking

Due to the change in location, the council is advising people to make travel plans into the city ahead of time to avoid congestion.

If you live near the event you can walk, cycle or rent an e-scooter and if you are travelling into the city the council is advising that you park and walk to the event. Those visiting Alexandra Park are advised to use Portsmouth Park and Ride and it is expected that extra shuttles will be put on to ensure that everyone can get to the event and back.
