Editorial, never paid. How the Dad Score works
Alexandra Palace's Fireworks & Drone Festival returns on 7 and 8 November, with Sunday now run as a Family Fun Day. Hundreds of drones fly to a soundtrack before the fireworks, brought forward to 6pm and run at reduced capacity on the Sunday. Alongside it there is a children's rave, funfair rides, ice skating, a firepit, street food and Barrioke with Shaun Williamson. Fireworks have been staged at Alexandra Palace since the nineteenth century.
Why it works for a dad and child
You watch the drones and fireworks together, then walk the funfair and ice rink side by side, at a family pace with the show finishing earlier and crowds thinner than Saturday.
