Using fireworks safely

Use fireworks only outdoors, in an open area away from buildings, vehicles, dry grass and crowds.
Adults must supervise at all times. Children must never handle or light fireworks.
Read and follow the instructions printed on each item.
Light one item at a time, at arm's length, and move away immediately.
Never relight or pick up an item that has not worked. Wait, then soak it in water.
Keep a bucket of water or sand nearby. Do not wear loose, synthetic clothing.
Never carry fireworks in your pocket or point them at people or animals.
Store fireworks in a cool, dry place, away from heat, flame and children.
Be considerate of patients, elderly people, animals and neighbours.

Fireworks may be used only as permitted by the law, court orders and local authority rules in force, including permitted types, timings and places.
Some items may be restricted or banned. Do not use any prohibited item.
Order requests sent through this website are not a completed sale. Any sale is agreed with the shop directly, subject to the licences and rules that apply to us and to you.
