Full stage & activity times will be announced closer to the event.

We realise that some parents will want to take children home to family/babysitters before the evening’s entertainment.

From 4:00pm we will be operating a re-entry system for parents who would like to do this.

Please make sure that you get issued with a re-entry wristband at either of the entrance tents and that you are back on site by 8:30pm, the last entry time for re-entry wristband wearers.

There’s no on-site camping at the event, however our official ticketing partner Festicket have ticket & local accommodation deals available. You check out options and book here.

Yes, this is a family friendly event, however all those under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult aged 21 or over. ID may be required.

Strobes will be used on some of the performances. If you have a history of adverse reactions to strobes we would not advise attending the event.

The event takes place largely in the park, so some areas might be muddy / wet under foot. The chances of mud and wet ground are likely to increase if we have had inclement weather in the lead up to the event. Please check the weather forecast and dress appropriately.

Adult tickets are required for all those aged 16 years or over.

We recommend taking your cash out before you arrive. There will be cash machines inside the event, however they do charge and will be busy.

No problem! But please be aware there will be no ‘buggy park’ facility on-site.

Alexandra Palace has its own mainline train station (5 minute walk to the event). Wood Green station is the closest underground station (15 minute walk to the event).

Aside from disabled parking, for blue badge holders only, there is no public parking available in or around Alexandra Palace. We strongly advise that you leave the car at home and take public transport.

Alexandra Palace is surrounded by residential housing. Please respect our neighbours by leaving quietly and taking your litter home with you.
