Our Story
At the age of five I saw fireworks for the first time. I was petrified.
The next year I couldn't wait for Bonfire Night. The day after November the 5th (Bonfire Night was always done on the 5th) I'd be sneaking through gardens to find spent fireworks, pretending to light them and imagining what they might do. We didn't have much around our way in the 70's!
Even now, over 50 years on, the smell of Autumn will always mean one thing to me, Bonfire night and Fireworks! When I opened my first pop up shop in 2005 I was determined only to offer fireworks with a wow factor. There is nothing worse than shelling out your hard earned cash only to be left feeling disappointed, or even cheated when you light your fireworks.
Now with over twenty-five years experience in fireworks retail I still have the same passion and philosophy. Our range has improved to the point where a firework needs to be very special to find it's way onto our shelves!

OUR PHILOSOPHY
When it comes to fireworks, we believe in championing quality over quantity. At Real Fireworks, we don't overwhelm you with endless options. Our philosophy is simple: if a product doesn't live up to our standard of excellence, it doesn't earn a place on our shelves.
​We Test, So You're Impressed
Every year, we delve into the vibrant world of pyrotechnics, carefully researching product videos of the UK's finest firework imports. But we don't stop there.
​
We invest in a live sample and light the fuse ourselves. Only after witnessing the show first-hand will we decide if a firework is worthy of your display. If it doesn't have the wow factor to bring you back next time, it simply won't make the cut.
Tailored Fireworks for Every Audience
Whether you're entertaining a close-knit group or wowing a crowd, our range is designed to ensure you can effortlessly host a display of the highest calibre.
