Fireworks Display late at Night

If you are planning a private firework display which will take place between the hours of 11pm and 7am you will need to get consent. You still require to apply if the firework display is being held on the night of Chinese New Year, 5th November, Diwali or the 31st December but be aware that amended time restrictions apply on these days.

Storage and Sale of Fireworks and Other Explosives

If you intend to sell adult (category F2 & 3) fireworks to consumers you must first obtain a storage licence from Trading Standards. If you intend to sell adult fireworks all year round you must also obtain an all-year sales licence from Trading Standards. It is your responsibility to keep within the law and to have systems in place that will act as a 'due diligence' defence to an allegation that a sale has taken place to a person under the minimum legal age.
