Popular Firework Types for Bonfire Night 2026
01
Single Ignition Display Cakes
Cakes (also called barrages) are multi-shot devices that you light once to produce a complete sequence of aerial effects - colour bursts, crackles, strobes, brocades and more. Common shot counts range from 25 up to 200 or more, with durations from around 30 seconds to well over a minute.
02
Rockets and Rocket Packs
03
Fountains, Wheels and Ground Effects
Nothing says Bonfire Night quite like a rocket screaming into the night sky before exploding in a single, dramatic burst. Rockets deliver height and spectacle that everyone associates with Bonfire Night.
Fountains throw showers of sparks and colour without high-altitude bangs. Fountains and wheels are suitable for domestic gardens as they produce lower-velocity sparks, and they add old-school Bonfire Night charm - Catherine wheels spinning on a fence post are a sight that never gets old.
04
Low-Noise and Pet-Friendly Choices
Real Fireworks stocks specially selected low-noise barrages, fountains and mines that deliver whoosh and crackle rather than sharp bangs.
05
Sparklers and Family Favourites
Classic sparklers and dazzling handheld fountains – perfect for adding a little extra excitement to your celebrations!
