Compound Fireworks

Compound fireworks are the heart and soul of any good firework display thanks to offering a plethora of effects, without the need to have lots of individual fireworks. These single ignition fireworks can contain anything up to 300 individual shots including several different effects for your all-in-one display needs.

There are a range of benefits to opting for a compound firework display, not least the value for money with most containing well over 100 fireworks in one, and no need to keep relighting. You can get your entire display boxed off with one giant compound firework – so it really is worth the investment.

We have a range of pre-fused compound fireworks for sale, including some of the most well-respected brands in the industry to create the perfect showstopper firework display for your event. If you would like to find the most up to date compound fireworks, you can find our new fireworks to browse. 

Why Choose Compound Fireworks?

Compound fireworks are a few fireworks that are linked together so you only have to light them up once, they are convenient. They will give you multiple effects without the hassle of needing to light various fireworks back to back. Generally, compound fireworks have a long duration and will light up the sky for at least a few minutes. They vary from 1 minute to over 4 minutes normally. You will only be able to ignite them once, you can’t reuse them. Our compound fireworks are often loud fireworks as so many will be shooting off into the sky at once.

Compound Fireworks FAQs

What’s a compound firework cake?

Our compound cakes are multiple firework cakes pre-fused together, always on a single board. You will find that one firework compound cake box has several smaller cakes fused together into one. You only need to light the main fuse, which will set off all boxes in turn and make it easier to you to stand back quickly and enjoy the display.

What does the weather need to be like to set off compound fireworks?

Like any other fireworks, to set off compound fireworks you will need dry weather. Some don’t let bad weather affect their displays, whilst others will get more affected by wind and rain. One way to protect your fireworks if it’s raining is with polythene bags or clingfilm. The only time you shouldn’t set the fireworks off is when it’s very windy, they can blow away and cause a fire or damage.

Do I need to ask anyone if I want to set off fireworks in my garden?

There is no need to get permission or a licence to set off fireworks, they are completely legal to set off in your back garden. Private firework displays have no rules and no formalities need to be followed, so you don’t need to inform anyone, some like to warn their neighbours though. Especially, if the firework display is going to be particularly loud and last a while. The only time you would need to get permission to set off fireworks is if you are planning to set them off on property that doesn’t belong to you and if you are charging people to watch.

How far away do I need to be from the fireworks I’m setting off?

At Let’s Party Fireworks, most of our fireworks are category 3, meaning you will need to leave at least 25 meters for viewing. Some fireworks we sell are category 2 and with these it’s recommended to leave a viewing distance of 5 meters, luckily meaning they are suitable for smaller gardens. You will need to be aware of dangerous hazards in your garden, like overhanging trees, long grass or extra narrow gardens. Don’t hesitate to contact us if you would like any more information about the safety of our fireworks.
