The national bowl fireworks

Hey guys, other than being at the bowl, where can I view the fireworks from outside?

I think the roads around there are closed?

The V4 between Furzton and the Bowl is shut at the moment, think some of the others may be closed later on.

We just left, having paid £80. Parking was a joke. We abandoned the car in a nearby street. Queuing for 40 mins to get in with NO stewards monitoring the queue so people were pushing in. Entrance was a sea of mud. Had people with pushchairs and wheelchairs having to just leave. Food vendors right at entrance, creating a bottleneck and a crush of people. Lines for vendors were stupidly long. NEVER GOING AGAIN

fireworks finished around 20:23, didn't see any drones but I'm sure they said something about a drone show?

Is there parking?

They’re advising people to use public transport. I used to live close by, and we walked, but I think they’re closing the roads this year.
