Our new Flickr photostream

Montage of professional fireworks in night sky

We’ve just launched our new Flickr photo stream where you can see our own photos of some of the best displays we have worked on over the years.

We’ll update this stream from time to time, so please follow it if you are a Flickr user (it’s free to join). Flickr is more specialist than Instagram, not least because you can download images direct from the site in high res and use them under a Creative Commons Licence (but not for commercial purposes).

Your fireworks are being made while you read this

Close up of firework being made in China

We’ve just had news that our spectacular fireworks for this year are now being made to order in China. They will be ready for shipping by next month and will be with us in good time for the bonfire season (as well as for all the weddings and parties we will be helping people to celebrate over the summer). These are already planned in Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, the rest of the East Midlands, and across the UK.

The photo above shows someone making a 94 shot z cake. The small tubes will fire first – quickly and in a sweeping motion across the sky – with the final four bigger tubes launching big effects into the sky at the end. The whole lot will go off in about 30 seconds, so this is a stunning firework to use at the end of your display.

We use similar fireworks in our professional displays – so give us a ring if you are planning a big event and let us take the whole thing off your hands. We do everything from the risk assessment, to the design, the layout, the firing, and the clear up afterwards.
