Bonfire Night fireworks display at Verulamium Park with a Food Village, raising funds for Isabel Hospice and the Herts Domestic Abuse Helpline.
The St Albans Fireworks Spectacular is at Verulamium Park on Saturday 7 November, the city's main centre-town Bonfire Night display. It's the biggest of the confirmed shows in the area this year, and it's run by St Albans Cathedral rather than the council. The night works as a fundraiser for Isabel Hospice and the Herts Domestic Abuse Helpline, so the ticket money goes to two local causes.
One thing to keep in mind is that the city's displays are spread across several dates rather than all falling on Bonfire Night itself. There's actually no display on the night of the 5th, and this is the only one in the city on the 7th, so if you're looking for something within walking distance of the centre, this is your best bet. It's a family-friendly affair, with a Food Village on site to keep you going before the main event.
Gates and the Food Village open at 6pm, and the fireworks start at 7.30pm, with the whole thing due to finish by 8.15pm. If you're coming with a pram or a wheelchair, there's an accessible viewing area reached through Gate 1. The park is on St Michael's Street, AL1 3JE.
