Blackheath’s fireworks could return this November for the first time in six years – but as a ticketed event with an admission charge.
The display has not been held since 2019, with Lewisham Council saying that it could not afford to put on the event.

Hope it’s a negotiating tactic.

Absolutely astonishing stuff from Luke Littler. He’s just a kid, under so much pressure, and he plays like that. The most naturally talented darts player I’ve ever seen. #thearras
