I don't want to have to read the whole thread but im off to Lidl tommorow so just wanted to know if their fireworks are any good and if so any recommendations?

TIA

Yes they are VERY good this year as they are stocking the Weco brand. In fact there definitely the best fireworks you can buy from a supermarket this year in my opinion and many others across the net!

Depending on your budget, some suggestions would be:

25 carat - must buy brilliant cake!
Inpanema- Looks good on videos - both on 2 for £12 offer!

Would recomend stocking up on these depending on your budget maybe get 2 25 carat.

Fire fighter- Looks really good on videos - £9.99 each ( a lot on here inc me have bought this cake)

Selection boxes- The cyber box is REALLY good value for the price and this is also on 2 for £12 offer. It has some great quality fountains and multi shot roman candle/ cakes.

Firepack- Good selection, if you want more multishot fireworks than fountains go for this, if you want more fountains etc go for 2 cyber boxes

Rockets- It has been said that the rockets arnt too good at all but the £6.99 pack does have a couple of good rockets in, there ok if you really want rockets but I would get a 25 carat cake instead.

Hope that helps

i have experienced lidl before but not the brand they are now. long thread short, lidls your best bet for small cheap cakes which preform really well for the money and selection boxes which are good and have a variety of fireworks. i didn't go their this year but they have had really good reviews and don't run out the door when you see the selection boxes they are better than they look. depending on the quantity and quality you want accordin to this thread avoid the small rockets and if you can't go anywhere else for rockets et the cocktail of rockets which are ok. You could easily get a long duration from just £30 and you would be beging for more

Got these today

For those of you around York, Barnitts has a really good collection...e.g.25 cake shots for £3.99 (dancing butterflies), a few multishot cakes for bogof £5 and a 300 shot cake (screaming vampire) £13.99. Not a chain store unfortunately but good for those local. Wish we'd have waited as we got some from ASDA that are nowhere near as good...and more expensive.

Simmy were did you get the Black Mamba rockets from?

I picked up some Black Gemini rockets for £10 from the Firework Warehouse demo night in St Helens on Saturday night to add to the stash.

Next up some of the Widow Maker (Atom Bomb) candles from JTF, then a couple of the cakes from Lidl and a visit to see if a shop local to me has fireworks in, as they usually have some interesting stuff on sale!

Lol sorry yeah thats the one I meant 'sand' haha! And, Ive just checked the issue number on mine and its: FW33-N2-1, don't really know what it means though!

Sounds like yours is a rare issue 2 leaflet, might be worth something My issue 3/N3 has the sand error rectified lol.

Bit off topic but have a look at this firework shop, you'd never get me outta here :rotfl:
