Safety Information

At Lets Party Fireworks, safety comes first so you can enjoy a brilliant display with peace of mind. Please take a moment to read these simple safety tips before using any fireworks at home.

• Only adults (18+) should buy, handle or light fireworks.​
• Buy fireworks from reputable retailers and check they carry the UKCA or CE mark and meet BS EN 15947 standards.​
• Read and follow the instructions on each firework before lighting, never in the dark or in a rush.​

• Keep fireworks in a closed, dry box and take them out one at a time.​
• Light fireworks at arm’s length with a taper, then stand well back and never return to a lit firework.​
• Never throw fireworks or carry them in your pocket, and keep spectators, especially children, at a safe distance.​

• Never give sparklers to children under five; always supervise older children closely.​
• Wear gloves, light sparklers one at a time, and place used sparklers in a bucket of water to cool fully.​

• Let neighbours know if you are planning a display and consider low-noise options for pets, young children and those who are sensitive to noise.​
• Do not set off fireworks between 11pm and 7am, except on permitted occasions such as Bonfire Night, New Year’s Eve, Diwali and Chinese New Year.​
• Never set off or throw fireworks (including sparklers) in the street or other public places.

• Wait until the next morning to clear up if possible, and never attempt to relight duds.​
• Soak used fireworks, sparklers and debris in water before placing them in your household rubbish.​
