Why should you buy your fireworks from The Firework Store
We have had a physical, bricks and mortar, proper firework shop in Wakefield since 2004. During that time we have established a reputation as the premier fireworks retailer in Wakefield and the surrounding area for our customer service, fireworks range, quality of fireworks and our prices.
For the past 20 years we have been THE Wakefield Firework shop, same faces, same service, a couple of different locations, but proudly being known as THE place to go for your fireworks. We don't take that lightly and each year strive to offer the best we can.
We are open all year for your fireworks, whether it is for a mid-year celebration, Bonfire Night or letting the New Year in, come and see us. We know our products, we offer help, advice, banter and a fantastic range of discounted fireworks.
You won't be disappointed.
Latest Products
Each year we work really hard behind the scenes to bring you the best fireworks we can at an affordable price. Each year it gets harder to provide a new range of fireworks that offer amazing effects and also fit within budgets.
We see prices going up due to shipping charges, transportation fees, and the cost of raw chemicals used in the manufacturing process.
This year is no exception, but again we feel we've achieved our goals for this years selection with a great spread on price points for all needs, whether it be a small selection box for a garden display or you're putting a larger display together and need something with a bit of oomph.
Here are some of the latest products we've brought in that are new to our range for this year, we hope you enjoy them.
We have teamed up with some of the best suppliers of fireworks in the U.K. to bring you a fantastic selection of fireworks to cover all budgets and requirements.

Our Blog is hopefully informative and hopefully entertaining. It is difficult to keep banging on (sorry for the pun) about fireworks as for most people it is a once-a-year purchase.
I hold my hands up, I'm of the age where I'm not a blogger, influencer (what the hell is an influencer anyway?) or anything else social media related. So why do we have a blog? because it's part of our site. So every now and then I have to sit down and write something interesting, and I'm sure you don't want to know what I had for lunch or any fashion advice I have and believe me, that's the last thing you want.
So we tend to keep our Blog posts to things that matter and may provide useful information for your forthcoming fireworks purchase. Occasionally we may have a rant, usually at least once a year, lovingly referred to as Robs-Rant, but if I can't tell you, who can I tell?
So if you have come across our Blog, take a moment to see if there's anything interesting, we do update you on what's happening in the industry, and maybe you will find it interesting or it'll put a smile on your face.
With Bonfire Night nearly a month away, we'll soon start seeing the usual array of "Cheap" fireworks kicking about.

As we approach the end of September, we're ramping things up here at Fireworks Central.For the past few weeks, we've been sorting our stores out in anticipation of the fireworks deliveries coming in.

Hello all,As we are now only 3 months away from Bonfire Night, I thought we'd update you on how things are going and what's coming.As per usual, the shipping of fireworks is making the headlines again.

We are now into April, and before we go any further where is the sun?Before anyone asks, this blog post is written by a real person, I'm sure AI could do a far better job, but that's impersonal.We have been working really hard behind the scenes for this coming Bonfire Night season. All our orders have been placed and confirmed, so we now play the w..
In February 2024 we celebrate our 20th anniversary of selling fireworks.
When we started selling fireworks in 2004 from our small shop on Doncaster Road in Wakefield, we had very little selection, compared to now, but even then we had a passion for fireworks.
In 2005, we expanded our range and added a few more suppliers and we know that we had ..
How time flies, here we are mid-July, and only 4 months to go to Bonfire Night. So I thought I'd drop a quick update on what's been going on and what's coming up.
You'll have noticed that we have gone to "By Appointment" visits to the shop at the moment. We are desperately trying to keep our overheads down when it's quiet, allowing us to keep our ..

I've been going through some old videos and found this video.Every year, we go to great lengths with our customers to emphasize safety when using fireworks. I know sometimes we go overboard and you can sometimes see that glazed look in people's eyes. Most of the time though, people listen and are grateful for the advice we give. We always get quest..
