- ensure children are accompanied by an adult.
- enter The Walks from Seven Sisters/Extons Road, the Library gates and County Court Road by 7:45pm on the event. The Tennyson Avenue and Blackfriars Road entrances will remain open throughout.

- support this local event by only purchasing flashing glows and other novelties from the permitted sellers inside the park.
Don’t:
- bring pets to the park during the event.
- bring your own private fireworks and sparklers - they are not permitted in The Walks.

Fawkes in The Walks is free to attend. A voluntary collection will be made on the evening to help cover the cost of the event, and every donation is appreciated. Charges may be made for other activities in the park.
Anyone planning to attend the event are advised to monitor the council's social media channels for up-to-date information or any changes to arrangements.

The borough council will also be sharing any snaps that are saved and posted to Facebook, X (formerly Twitter) or Instagram with the hashtag #FawkesInTheWalks.
