Primrose Hill closures during bonfire night and New Year's Eve
Primrose Hill will be closed and locked during the bonfire night period and on New Year's Eve.
Primrose Hill will be closed and locked during the bonfire night period and on New Year’s Eve.
Primrose Hill will be closed and locked nightly during the bonfire night period from 30 October to 9 November between 22:00 and 06:00.
Visitors are reminded that organising large gatherings without permission and setting off fireworks or lanterns is in breach of The Royal Parks regulations, which are enforced by the Metropolitan Police.
Primrose Hill will also be closed on New Year’s Eve. The park will be close at 20:00 on December 30 and reopen at 06:00 on January 1.
“The safety of all park visitors is our priority,” said a spokesperson for The Royal Parks. “Closing the park over the bonfire night period and on New Year’s Eve is not a decision we take lightly.
“We know that in the past large numbers have gathered in the park to celebrate these occasions. These are not organised events, they are gatherings in open parkland and we have limited controls that we can deploy to ensure public safety. Closing Primrose Hill overnight is the only responsible course of action.”
