Buy fireworks

Yes. It is perfectly legal to buy fireworks online in the UK, provided you are aged 18 or over and purchase from a licensed retailer. Dynamic Fireworks is a licensed year-round fireworks retailer, so you can buy from us at any time of year, not just around Bonfire Night. All products comply with UK safety regulations and are delivered by specialist fireworks couriers.

The public can buy Category F2 and Category F3 fireworks without a licence. These cover the full range of consumer fireworks including cakes and barrages, rockets, Roman candles, fountains and mines, compound fireworks and low noise fireworks. Category F4 fireworks are for professional use only and are not available to the public.

No licence or permit is required to buy or use Category F2 and F3 fireworks as a consumer in the UK, as long as you are aged 18 or over. You do not need any formal training either. A storage licence is only required if you wish to store more than 50kg NEC of fireworks at any one time. For public events with large crowds, public liability insurance is recommended.

Start by measuring your space and checking what safety distance you can comfortably achieve. If you have 8 metres, stick to Category F2 fireworks. If you have 25 metres or more, you can use the full range including F3 products. Then decide on your budget and how long you want the show to run. A display pack is the simplest starting point, as it gives you a curated mix with a firing order already planned. You can always add individual fireworks to personalise it.

Yes, provided you have enough space to maintain the required safety distance. Category F2 fireworks require a minimum of 8 metres between the firing point and spectators, which most average-sized gardens can accommodate. Fireworks must not be set off after 11pm on most nights. Our low noise range is ideal for residential areas where noise may be a consideration for neighbours or pets.

Our minimum order for home delivery is £99 including VAT.

There is no minimum for click and collect from our retail outlets in Colchester and Ipswich. Orders over £599 qualify for free fireworks added automatically at checkout. Please check our delivery information for full details on delivery charges and free delivery thresholds.
