Welcome to the UK Firework Review – UKFR for short – helping the UK public have safe and successful firework displays in their back gardens since 1999. Click on the hamburger icon (top right) to browse links to all of my guides.
For information about the government’s 2026 fireworks consultation and how you can support fireworks, please click here.
Wildfire risks: Please take care using fireworks during the current drought as there is significant risk in doing so. Postpone if possible until later in the year.
Complete beginner? Head over to my Beginners Start Here! page for a structured walk-through of all my fireworks guides, advice and articles. Need a crash course in firework laws? See my firework laws summary.
Whatever the size and cost of your display, my guides will help you choose, set up and let off your fireworks safely and legally for maximum impact. Read, learn and then fire safely.
UKFR is independent from the fireworks trade; I’m not a retailer and do not sell fireworks. All of my content here is free to access and advert free too!
