Firework displays should be enjoyable and
spectacular occasions, and the safest place to enjoy them and
minimise the risk of getting hurt is at properly organised public
displays.
Such displays are regulated by the Health & Safety
Executive (HSE), which has guidance for organisers on its
website.
Fireworks
at home
Fireworks can also be
safely enjoyed within the grounds of your home by
following the

pets when planning a display and in general, displays should be
held no later than 10pm.
