Whilst you have to wait until specific times of the year in order to be able to purchase fireworks from supermarkets, homewares stores and convenience stores, as a specialist firework supplier we sell fireworks all year round and offer delivery to all addresses across mainland Great Britain.
All year, our store in Leamington Spa is open 6 days a week, Mon – Fri 8.30am – 5.30pm and Sat 9.00am – 5.15pm. Whilst during October and early November, we are also open on Sundays 11.00am – 5.00pm.
Even when our shop is closed, our website is open. Our website is open for business 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year.
We can sell fireworks all year round because we are a licensed firework supplier. This is unlike other retailers, whilst these may be registered, without a license they are only able to sell fireworks at the following times of year:
-
15 October to 10 November
-
26 to 31 December
-
3 days before Diwali and Chinese New Year
With the option to be able to buy fireworks from us all-year round, you may be wondering when the best time to buy fireworks is?
Fireworks available in the UK are almost without exception manufactured in China, deliveries from these manufacturers are mainly scheduled around August and September ready to take advantage of those sales periods.
Whilst major firework suppliers like ourselves have placed our orders with manufacturers up to 12 months previous to the main sales period, it can be a case of not knowing exactly what you have got until you open the box and let one off. We, therefore, particularly with new fireworks, advise customers to wait until we have tested one before they order one.
We suggest around August and September is the ideal time to start planning what fireworks you would like for your November display. Certainly, by October, lines are starting to sell out and once they have gone there may not be a chance for the supplier to re-stock for probably 6 to 9 months.
You can leave buying your fireworks for your November display right up to the last minute, but would we advise it? No, we would not.
Buying earlier will give you the best selection and we will have plenty of time to go through the various fireworks available with you and we will also be able to suggest firing orders. Whilst we still offer, as best we can, that service right up to November 5th, you can imagine how manic things can get at our busiest time of the year.
One of the best times of the year we suggest ordering your fireworks is during our annual Spring firework sale. We run our sale for six weeks and have offers that are well below even our normal special offer prices.
In our sale, we concentrate on larger aerial barrages, larger rockets and large packs of aerial barrages. These types of fireworks form the cornerstone of displays from £100 to many thousands. You can buy fireworks in our sale and choose to either have them delivered (or you can collect from our store) later in the year so that you do not have to store them for several months. We store orders for customers free of charge.
If you require fireworks away from the main periods then we suggest that you should order at least a week before your display so that we can arrange delivery to you and you can familiarise yourself with the fireworks before using them.
