Summit at Alexandra Palace, part of Wire and Sky, marked a record-breaking weekend during London’s Firework and Drone Festival, selling out all summit slots across both days as visitors experienced the capital’s headline showcase from an aerial vantage point for the very first time.
Whilst more than 60,000 festival-goers gathered across the historic parklands over the two days, summit established itself as the viewing location high above the crowds. With just 48 places available each day, the experience offered visitors a unique opportunity to enjoy London’s Firework and Drone Festival from above. Participants enjoyed a fully guided rooftop walk before taking their positions at prime viewing spots overlooking the spectacular 30-minute fireworks and drone display. Sunday evening delivered an unexpected celebration when one guest dropped to one knee to propose at the top, moments before the countdown began, prompting cheers all round.
Standing on the UK’s highest roof walk at 130 metres above sea level, visitors benefited from a dual spectacle. Alongside uninterrupted sightlines of the Alexandra Palace display, clear night conditions revealed a panorama across London, treating onlookers to dozens of community displays lighting up 28 London boroughs and four neighbouring counties all at once.
Andy Broad, Wire & Sky Managing Director, said, “Providing Ally Pally’s first-ever rooftop firework and drone viewing experience was an extraordinary milestone for our team. With only 48 places available each day, the atmosphere on the roof was electric from start to finish. Helping create such a memorable backdrop, complete with a surprise engagement, made the weekend thoroughly unforgettable.”
