General advice

Please note that the Fireworks & Drone Festival takes place on the grounds of Alexandra Palace and this will require navigating hills and steep terrain. Furthermore, the weather can cause certain areas to become more challenging to navigate due to wet and slippery surfaces. The event has a festival feel, particularly on the Saturday, so consider this as you plan your visit. Please take care and be mindful of this when navigating the park.
