As we draw close to Bonfire Night, each year we
see unfortunate images of accidents caused by fireworks, or people complaining

As we get closer to Bonfire Night, our shop is starting to come out of hibernation mode.Out of season, we reduce our shop opening hours to "By Appointment" only.

We had a call in the week from a customer who had come across our website and it came out that they thought we were just an online shop. They were surprised that we had a "proper" shop in this current climate. So I thought I'd just remind people that we are a "proper" shop.

As we approach Bonfire Night, we're just about fully stocked, but the stock situation isn't improving.At the time of writing, we are STILL waiting for some lines to come in but should be with us within the next 24 hours.

Well, here we are, April 2021. Who'd have thunk we'd just be coming out of another national lockdown.Fingers crossed, that with the push on vaccinations, come June 21st things will be back to the "Old" Normal, I don't like the "New" one.Last year, I can only describe it as "Carnage" in the shop. Getting locked down and told to close on Bonfire Nigh..

Whilst you're perusing fireworks you'll see reference to 1.3g or 1.4g at some point. So what is the difference?
The reference to 1.3g and 1.4g purely relates to the storing and transportation of fireworks. it's as simple as that..... well not exactly. Nothing in fireworks is simple.

All fireworks are controlled by various parts, weight, size, etc., and currently, under CE regulations no individual firework can contain more than 1000g of explosive powder and no tube can be more than 30mm...

While it may have looked like we vanished into a puff of smoke, the truth is far less mysterious and far more productive — we’ve been quietly (okay, noisily) working behind the scenes to bring you our most exciting firew..
