Putney Heath Fireworks

Metropolitan Walkers is part of the Ramblers, Britain's walking charity. All welcome for 3 'taster' walks, after which please join the Ramblers - info on the Met Walkers website

On Bonfire night we will be walking through the dark woodland of Putney Heath. If the weather is good, we will pause on the heath to watch a firework show. The show starts at 8:30 pm in nearby Wimbledon Park, and we may be able to see it from a distance.

We may finish later than usual due to the timing of the fireworks. Wrap up warm. Some of the paths may be unpaved so please wear suitable footwear. Bring a head torch.

Optional: Please join us in the pub at the end of the walk for a drink and a chat.
