Just as the title says- who are your local fireworks suppliers? Are they all year round shops, shops that only open in season, shops that only sell fireworks in season etc?

It would be good to get some thoughts together, and share ideas- often people don't know how close they live to a good fireworks shop!

I live about 6 miles from Galactic fireworks, Dinnington (South Yorkshire) who sell quite a few brands, in the past I have bought Kimbolton, Black Cat, Men Shun, Millenium and maybe some other manufacturers from them. They are very helpful and are open all year round but I generally use my own home made displays now, so havent been in there for a couple of years. They are joined onto Turvers general store if anyone knows the area, but have an all year round devoted fireworks section.

I guess Pure Party/spyrotechnics is only a half hour drive away in Chesterfield, but have not been to that one yet. Also the Roman Firework Company, Doncaster (Balby road A630) looks good, but I drive past them in the opposite direction of a dual carriageway, with no way of crossing over but keep meaning to pay them a visit! I think South Yorkshire area must have about the highest density of devoted firework shops in England, I cant believe some people have to travel 100+ miles just to reach a decent shop...

Their selection is very good, that is true. However, contrary to what they say on their website (All prices discounted) most things in the shop are full RRP. For me, there is nothing they sell that I can't get cheaper elsewhere.

I think they do discount bags- a set selection of fireworks for a set price.

Also they have some pyro from years gone by on display, which is worth a look.


Spyrotechnics sells some great Fireworks Emporium Stuff, and Kimbolton too- well worth checking out.

The supplier nearest to me that I use, is Brighton Fireworks. Except I go to buy my Benstar Cosmos cakes at Lidl every year. Other than that it consists of bits I have lying around or cobble together. Last year I finally finished up my stock of small Chinese Font cones, For years we had Rising suns and tridents etc of Font cones. All good fun.

My nearest supplier is the Rocket Box in Preston, of which i have heard negative things about. But i dont know if its all year round.

My nearest supplier is the Enfield shop of Fireworks Emporium. It was a nice place, videos of products playing and a nice amount of stuff on display.
