Fireworks bring you joy no matter what age you are and there is a huge variety to choose from! You’ve got your barrages, you’ve stocked up on rockets and now it’s time to take your firework display to the next level! Catherine Wheels If you have a fair amount of space in your garden or venue and a post to mount them, then you have to pick up some wheels! They are perhaps the most mesmerising of fireworks, as they change colour and effect as they spin and occasionally screech round to keep you on your toes. They are both thrilling and inexpensive. You can pick up a pack of 5 Cyclone Wheels for as little as £5.99 or a mighty pack of 3 Reliant wheels for a bargain £12.99! Roman Candles The most important thing to remember with Roman candles is that they must go in the ground and that they are not to be held when setting off. Misconception about these fireworks has caused them to be banned in parts of the world. Roman candles are tubular fireworks that set off in layers giving you a succession of shots one after the other as the firework burns down. If you want a hefty candle to keep the display going then try V-E Day, which has 55 huge shots. If you’re just looking for a nice gap filler then we have Lunar or Dual Shock and for something more of a novelty, Atomiser which are a steal at £1.99! Continue reading →

Small packs like Star Gazer give you a mix of 5 small rockets for only £4.99 or how about 5 for £9.99 with 5-Alive? They might not wake the neighbours, but they’ll make a nice addition to any garden display. Continue reading →
