The display is taking place at Wanstead Flats by kind permission of The Corporation of London, conservators of Epping Forest.

People are asked not to bring their own fireworks or sparklers, nor should they bring their dogs.

Please do not bring glass bottles or sharp items. People may be searched as a condition of entry.
