Why Buy Fireworks Online?

Shopping for fireworks online offers many advantages, including convenience, competitive pricing, and access to a wider variety of fireworks compared to physical stores. When you purchase from trusted vendors like Fireworks Arcade, you can rest assured that all products comply with UK safety regulations, making your display both safe and spectacular.

With the ability to browse and compare different fireworks, online shopping allows you to plan your event more effectively. Whether you’re celebrating Guy Fawkes Night, New Year’s Eve, Diwali, or a wedding, buying fireworks online means you’re ready for any occasion.

Understanding UK Fireworks Laws

In the UK, fireworks are regulated to ensure safety and compliance with British Standards. It’s important to be aware of the legal age restrictions and the designated times when fireworks can be used. For most fireworks, the legal age to purchase is 18, and it is illegal to set off fireworks in public places like streets or parks.

The allowed times for fireworks usage are typically from 7 AM to 11 PM, except on specific days like Bonfire Night (until midnight), and New Year’s Eve, Diwali, and Chinese New Year (until 1 AM). Always make sure you’re familiar with local guidelines to avoid fines and penalties.

Types of Fireworks Available

When buying fireworks online, you’ll find a vast array of options suitable for different types of events. Here’s a breakdown of the popular types of fireworks you can find:

Rockets

Rockets are one of the most iconic fireworks. These high-flying wonders burst into vibrant colors and patterns, making them a favorite for both small and large events. Choose from different sizes and effects to suit your display needs.

Shot Cakes

Shot cakes are pre-loaded fireworks that fire multiple bursts into the sky, creating a sequence of explosions. These are ideal for larger displays and come in various sizes ranging from small backyard-friendly cakes to impressive large-scale options.

Selection Boxes

Perfect for family gatherings or smaller events, selection boxes offer a mix of different types of fireworks, giving you a bit of everything. From fountains to small rockets and Catherine wheels, selection boxes offer variety at a great value.

Sparklers

Sparklers are a fun and safe option for children and smaller celebrations. Their handheld design allows everyone to get involved in the celebration, adding a personal touch to your event.

Low Noise Fireworks

For those living in areas sensitive to noise, low-noise fireworks provide a spectacular display without the loud bangs. These are ideal for events in urban areas or where pets and small children may be affected by the noise.

Safety Tips for Fireworks

Fireworks are enjoyable but must be handled with care. To ensure a safe and successful display, follow these essential safety tips:

• Always buy fireworks from reputable retailers that meet UK safety standards.
• Keep a bucket of water or hose nearby in case of emergencies.
• Never relight a malfunctioning firework; wait 15-20 minutes before safely disposing of it.
• Make sure spectators are a safe distance away from the firing area.
• Light fireworks at arm’s length using a taper and never lean over them while lighting.
