Night of a thousand lights

Night of a thousand lights

By Linda Soper

Alexandra Palace is to play host yet again to one of the

most spectacular firework displays in north London.

On 5 November from 4.30-11pm there will be ice rink

sessions and a beer festival with lots of warming food. You can
expect to see a few miles from the palace, iridescent
lights turning into chrysanthemum blooms transforming into
stars and spirals on their descent.

Sponsors Capital Radio will be there for the evening too.

The road through the park will shut at around 4.30pm

and reopen at 11pm. Entry will be £2.

Two days earlier on 3

November, Martin Schools, The

Green Man Community Centre

and the East Finchley Festival

Committee will be staging their

own dazzling firework display

on the Martin Schools field in

the High Road. This has become

a favourite annual event in East

Finchley. Gates open at 6pm

and the fireworks start at 7pm.

Refreshments will be available

and tickets will be available on

the door.
