The answer to this is it very much depends on what you are looking for;

The four main types of fireworks available on the Rugby Fireworks site are; Cakes, Roman Candles; Fountains; and Rockets

Cakes

Cakes come in all shapes, sizes and durations.

Cake are the simplest to set up and fire. Place them on flat ground, support on all 4 sides with a sand bag or bury in a bucket of sand, light the fuse, stand back and enjoy.

Available as small cakes for small areas, to very large cakes for bigger displays. Different configurations from straight up firing (I) to fan firing (W) to zig-zag fan firing (Z). Fast or slow firing. And many different colours, effects and noise levels.

Cakes offer the best value for money for any budget.

Roman Candles

The roman candles available of the Rugby Fireworks are collectively known as dragons.

Dragons candles are multi-tubed roman candles and fire multiple shots in quick succession. A dragon type effect is generally not found in a cake, so these fireworks offer a different effect for your display.

Fountains

Also known as Gerbs, the pyrotechnic fountains available on Rugby Fireworks are stunning and last a long time – 90 seconds – watch the videos to see for yourself

Rockets

Rockets are great, but they take much more setting up than cakes or candles, so read the instructions.

In bang for your buck terms rockets are expensive, but if rockets are your thing than why not.

Please remember the rocket stick does come back down, so make sure you have enough space for the size of rocket you are using.

There are four categories or divisions which fireworks fall under, which relates to type of item, level of hazard, net explosive content and noise level.

The two main ‘Consumer Fireworks’ categories are Category 2 or F2 and Category 3 or F3

Category 2 or F2 Fireworks, are fireworks which are intended for outdoor use (i.e. garden fireworks) and can have a minimum safety distance for operators of 8 metres, and spectators between 8 and 20 metres.

Category 3 or F3 Fireworks, are fireworks, which are intended for outdoor use in large open areas (i.e. display fireworks for open areas such as fields) and can have a minimum safety distance of 15 metres for operators and 25 metres for spectators.

Are Category 3 (F3) fireworks better than Category 2 (F2) fireworks?

No not really, it very much depends on what you are looking at. It used to be the case that Cat 3 was better than Cat 2 but that really doesn’t hold true now. If comparing 2 fireworks – watch the videos for each and make your choice based on that rather than the categories.

The 2 remaining categories are;

Category 1 or F1 Fireworks, are fireworks which are intended for use in confined areas, including fireworks which are intended for use inside domestic buildings (i.e. indoor fireworks).

Category 4 or F4 Fireworks, are not available to members of the public and are for use by persons with specialist knowledge (i.e. professional firework companies). In other words it is illegal to buy and use Cat 4 fireworks as a member of the public. This is still the case for individuals that have recognised pyrotechnist qualification and training. If such a person is buys and uses Cat 4 fireworks and the display is not covered by a legitimate fireworks display company – they are breaking the law,

No not really.

I very much depends on what you are looking at.

It used to be the case that Cat 3 was better than Cat 2 but that really doesn’t hold true now.

If you are comparing two fireworks – watch the videos for each and make your choice based on that rather than the categories.

1.3G and 1.4G is a hazard classification that relates ONLY to transport and packaging regulations.

What the terms actually mean are;

1.3G; Substances and articles which have a fire hazard and either a minor blast hazard or a minor projection hazard or both
1.4G: Substances and articles which present no significant hazard; only a small hazard in the event of ignition or initiation during transport with any effects largely confined to the package

Fireworks classed as 1.3G are considered more hazardous than 1.4G because 1.3G may contain certain chemicals or larger amounts of flashpowder (a type of gunpowder that is much more powerful than the usual “blackpowder”).

Whereas 1.4G fireworks tend to use large amounts of ‘black-powder’ (a less powerful version of gunpowder than flash-powder), 1.3G fireworks can sometimes pack a more powerful punch due to the usage of more flash-powder in their manufacture.

As a result of this they are deemed to be more hazardous for transportation and packaging.

It used to be the case that all consumer fireworks were only 1.4G, and all professional fireworks were either 1.4G, 1.3G or the even more hazardous 1.1G.

However huge changes have been made recently with the way consumer fireworks are classified. Now in simple terms consumer fireworks with more than a certain amount of flashpowder in them are classified as 1.3G.

In the past 1.3G fireworks were considered to be “better” than 1.4G fireworks because 1.3G were more powerful.

Whilst this used to be broadly true shortly after the new classification system was introduced, firework manufacturers adapted their production processes and are now able to produce excellent 1.4G fireworks.

In general terms, the effects produced by quality 1.4G fireworks can easily surpass 1.3G fireworks; although 1.3G do tend to be louder.

In the past 1.3G fireworks were considered to be “better” than 1.4G fireworks because 1.3G were more powerful.

Whilst this used to be broadly true it is no longer a reliable indicator of which firework is the “best”.

Shortly after the new classification system was introduced, firework manufacturers adapted their production processes and are now able to produce excellent 1.4G fireworks.

In general terms, the effects produced by quality 1.4G fireworks can easily surpass 1.3G fireworks; although 1.3G do tend to be louder.

1.3G and 1.4G is a hazard classification that actually relates to how hazardous the item is for transport and packaging regulations.

Fireworks classed as 1.3G are considered more hazardous than 1.4G because 1.3G may contain certain chemicals or larger amounts of flashpowder (a type of gunpowder that is much more powerful than the usual “blackpowder”).

Under ‘The Fireworks Regulations 2004’ – You have to be 18 years or over to buy fireworks in the UK.

In the UK members of the public can only buy ‘consumer fireworks’ classified as Category F2 or Category F3 fireworks, and they must conform to CE/EU standards, which means each firework must have a CE marked label detailing amongst others things important safety information and instructions on use. Note the old British Standards (BS) classification is no longer in use.

Certain items are banned in the UK. These include bangers, air bombs and jumping jacks, regardless of whether these are CE marked and approved for sale in other EU countries.

Members of the public can not buy or use Category 4 (professional) fireworks. Contrary to popular misconception there is no such thing as either a licence or training that entitles a member of the public to buy and use Catergory 4 fireworks. These are only available to bonafide professional fireworks companies with all year insurance and licenced storage.

Yes, you can legally buy consumer fireworks all year round.

The company you are buying from must have a license to sell all year though.

Yes.

These are principally;

1. You must be 18 years or over to use fireworks
2. You must have the land owners permission to set off fireworks. This means your own garden is ok, but setting off fireworks in a street, public park or on a beach is not ok.
3. You can set off fireworks anyday of the week including Sundays, but fireworks are not allowed after 11pm except for the following exceptions;

November 5th (Bonfire Night / Guy Fawkes): You can let fireworks off until midnight.

December 31st (New Year’s Eve): You can let fireworks off until 1am.

Diwali: You can let fireworks off until 1am.

Chinese New Year: You can let fireworks off until 1am.

This means your own garden is ok, but setting off fireworks in a street, public park or on a beach is illegal.

Make sure the place you are setting fireworks off is a big enough area. All fireworks sold on the Rugby Fireworks website have information on the safety distances required, and each firework will have a CE marked label giving the same information and instructions on how to use.

Remember to think about overhanging trees that could make the space available smaller than you think.

Also think about your neighbours especially if they have pets, young children or may be alarmed by the sudden noise of fireworks. It is courtesy to notify your neighbours if you are having a display especially if it is not on November 5th or New Year’s Eve.

Finally think about your neighbours especially if they have pets, young children or may be alarmed by the sudden noise of fireworks. It is courtesy to notify your neighbours if you are having a display especially if it is not on November 5th or New Year’s Eve.

No, but you do need to abide by the law.

You don’t need to tell your neighbours but its a good idea to let them know if you are having a display especially if it is not on November 5th or New Year’s Eve. And remember not everyone likes fireworks so its especially important to let neighbours who have they have pets, young children or may be alarmed by the sudden noise of fireworks know.

You can set off fireworks anyday of the week including Sundays, but fireworks are not allowed after 11pm except for the following exceptions;

Legally no, but its a good idea to let them know if you are having a display especially if it is not on November 5th or New Year’s Eve.

Remember not everyone likes fireworks especially people who have have pets, young children or may be alarmed by the sudden noise of fireworks know.

If you let them know in advance then at least they have a chance to make sure their pets are inside, or the young children are distracted etc. Its not knowing that a firework is going to go off that generally causes the annoyance and upset.

Yes some animals do get upset by fireworks, but most aren’t particularly affected by fireworks.

A lot of fireworks do make a loud noises or bangs which are alarming to an animal, but are no different to claps of thunder in a thunderstorm.

When alarmed the basic animal instinct is to hide or take flight until the perceived threat has passed. Once the issue causing alarm is over, animals generally return to what they were doing and are not usually traumatised by the experience.

However some animals can have a noise phobia – particularly dogs and concerned pet owners should consult their vet for best advice on how to look after the needs of individual pets.

Being prepared is the key to looking after animals when fireworks are going off. This is why it is so important to let your neighbours know you are planning to set off some fireworks. Knowing when and where your are going to have set off some fireworks will allow them time to take care of their animals.

Below is some information and links to websites with more specific information on caring for dogs, cats and horses;

Dogs

Advice below is taken from the Dogs Trust Website – Advice on Fireworks

Keeping your cat indoors will mean they are less likely to come across fireworks displays and become spooked.

2. Create a safe space for your cat.

A cardboard box lined with blankets is perfect. Cats feel safer higher up so place the box on a sturdy top shelf.

3. Play music.

Keeping a radio or television on can help your cat to avoid getting scared from the sudden sounds of fireworks displays

4. Use a pheromone plug-in diffuser such as Feliway in your house.

This can reduce anxiety and create a calming effect. Begin using it a couple of weeks before fireworks season and place it in the room where your cat spends most of its time.

5. Try not to reinforce fearful behaviour by overly comforting a cat that looks anxious.

Keep calm yourself and your cat is more likely to feel more settled.

Horses – Advice below is taken from The Horse Society Website – Advice on Fireworks and fireworks displays

Checklist for Horse Owners:

• Ask neighbours and firework display organisers to inform you in advance if they are looking to set off fireworks. If there is a local fireworks display to be held near your horses, ask if it can either be moved to a more suitable location, or held as far from the horses as possible. 
• We recommend keeping your horse in its familiar environment, in its normal routine, with any companions to make it feel secure, however consider alternative arrangements if this is close to where the fireworks will be set off.
• If you decide to stable your horse make sure you check thoroughly for anything that could cause potential injury, such as protruding nails, string and ensure the haynet is safely secured.
• If your horse is to stay in the field, check the fencing is secure and there are no foreign objects around.
• Ensure that yourself or someone experienced stays with your horse if you know that fireworks are being set off to try and keep them calm.
• If you are leaving your horse in the care of another person then be sure to leave clear instructions and contact details for both yourself and your vet should any problems arise.
• If you know your horse will be stressed, talk to your vet about possible options, including sedation, or perhaps consider moving your horse for the night.
• Playing music on a radio positioned outside the stable can often mask sudden noise, distract attention and be soothing. Ensure your horse is used to the radio before the day of the fireworks being set off.
• Try to remain calm yourself and keep positive, as horses will sense unease in a person and this may make things worse if the horse is stressed.
• It may seem common sense but be aware of your own safety and do not put yourself in danger; a startled horse can be dangerous and unpredictable.
• Make sure that you have adequate third party liability insurance. If your horse is frightened and escapes, causing an accident, then you could be held liable for compensation. 
• If you know that whatever you do, your horse will react badly, potentially injuring themselves or you, you could discuss the possibility of sedating them with a vet, or moving them to another location whilst the fireworks are going off.

Fireworks contain explosives. It may sound obvious but its important to remember that fact when storing fireworks.

The legal rules around storage of explosive is complex and the short answer is only store a modest amount of fireworks at home for the shortest time possible.

If you store fireworks for more than a week or two, you are taking more risks than necessary and could be breaking the law. Also if fireworks aren’t stored properly they can deteriorate and become dangerous to use, so it’s always best to buy your fireworks and use them all within a few days. 

When storing fireworks at the main things to ensure are:

• The fireworks are kept away from any sources of heat or ignition
• The fireworks are kept dry

Sources of heat or ignition include heaters, naked flames and people smoking. Never smoke while handling fireworks!

It is essential that your fireworks are kept dry. Beware of storing fireworks outside in sheds which can get damp and avoid anywhere with significant changes of temperatures including greenhouses, conservatories and lofts which could result in condensation. If you must keep your fireworks in the shed, wrap them up tightly in well sealed bin liners or plastic bags.

Some more useful advice:

• Store fireworks in their original packaging
• Do not store fireworks with any other flammable materials including petrol, oil or paint
• If there is a possibility of children or animals having access to the fireworks, keep them stored in a lockable container or cabinet

Yes you can – BUT you should be aware of some key restrictions

Fireworks contain explosives and therefore are classed as dangerous goods – Class 1 in fact. It may sound obvious but it’s important to remember you are transporting explosives when transporting fireworks.

The legal rules around transportation of explosives is complex, and they are different for different modes of transport.

Here’s what you CAN do;

• Transport a modest amount of fireworks in your own car within the UK. There is some debate as to whether you should tell your insurance company or not. If you do carry fireworks in your car, transport them in there original packing boxes. Don’t carry other dangerous goods at the same time – flammable gas canisters, cans of petrol etc. Keep fireworks out of sight. Carry a fire extinguisher. If you do have an accident tell the emergency services that you have fireworks in the vehicle.
• Some road tunnels in the UK ban fireworks(explosives) from being transported through them 

Here’s what you CAN NOT do;

• Transport fireworks on a boat or ferry. So if you have fireworks in a your car, you can’t take the car onto a ferry, so you can’t take fireworks in a car by ferry to Europe or Ireland or another uk island.
• Transport fireworks by rail. So you can’t carry fireworks onto a train as a foot passenger, and you can’t take fireworks in a car that goes onto a train like the Eurotunnel
• Transport fireworks by air. So you can’t take fireworks on a aircraft as hand luggage or hold luggage.
• Send fireworks by courier or postal services. There are specialist courier services that do transport dangerous goods, but in order to do so they require specialist paperwork completed so that they know what they are carrying and what other dangerous goods can be carried with it, and you will not be able to produce the necessary paperwork

Fireworks can be sold any time of year but the retailer must hold a valid licence.

There are 2 types of licence;

1. Covers the period around Guy Fawkes and New Year’s Eve.
2. Covers a retailer all year.

Requirements for licensing include a retailer having appropriate storage facilities and importantly insurance for the sale of fireworks and licenses are issued by either Trading Standards or the local Fire Authority.

Firework retailers holding a licence are subject to inspections to ensure they comply. Licences are never given to white vans, the bloke down the pub, car boot sales or market stalls – those are illegal sellers. Don’t buy from them!

All fireworks sold MUST be CE marked and labeled like the example below which gives important safety information and instructions on how to use. IF a fireworks doe not have such a label DO NOT buy it – it is illegal – either its out of date / old stock or illegally imported. 

No.

Under the Explosive Regulations 2014, no person may manufacture explosives unless that person holds a licence for that manufacture and complies with the conditions of that licence.

It is also an offence to tamper with or modify fireworks, which includes fusing 2 or more fireworks together.

By law there is a noise limit of 120db on all consumer fireworks in the UK

Certain items are banned in the UK. These include bangers, air bombs and jumping jacks, regardless of whether these are CE marked and approved for sale in other EU countries.

Yes – we have a range of special range of quieter fireworks.

To be clear no fireworks are completely silent, but there are a good number of fireworks that are low noise and still very impressive to look at.

By low noise – we generally mean a ‘pop’ rather than a ‘BANG’ sound.

Filter the product search on this website by Quiet Fireworks to see all the product we offer, and every firework we sell has a video to view so you can hear for yourself what they will sound like.

No. Bangers have been illegal to sell or buy in the UK since 1997, along with mini rockets, firecrackers, jumping jacks or fireworks with erratic flight and Airbombs.

If you are offered such fireworks and they are CE marked, then they may have come from countries in the EU where they can still be bought and used legally, but they are still banned in the UK so don’t buy them.

No, Rugby Fireworks don’t sell sparklers.

Sparklers are perfectly legal in the UK, but did you know that sparklers account for over 50% of all recorded fireworks related accidents in the UK year or year?

Sparklers are often viewed as being harmless but they burn at fierce temperatures, equivalent to a welding torch.

Rugby Fireworks sell Glow Sticks instead. View now
