The Great Cheap, Safe Fireworks Hunt

ixwood

Thanks. The Saturn is 25m safety distance though, which would suggest they're more powerful.

I'm dissapointed all the cheaper sets are only 5m. usually there's been quite a few 25m's previously in the cheapish boxes.

Bit sneaky of mirrisons to sell the mercury pack £2 more than it's RRP at £12. And still Splash "GREAT BUY" on it.

You make a good point about the 25 metre thing.

I suppose either wont dissapoint, it's up to you they both look great.

I've also been to Epic. I bought mainly large SIBs and large cakes. Tigers revenge is an awsome price and they also have King rockets which are probably the best you can buy. I spent just over £400 for around £700 RRP worth of fireworks.

I bought a cheap pack of Epic rockets which I set off a few night ago and 2 didn't fire properly. The rockets reached a good hight but the heads didn't explode. Those that did were good effects for the price.

Standard Fireworks warehouse is now open and is worth a look if you are after smaller garden fireworks at a good price. I have also bought from Jordans Fireworks in the past who have been quite good and have a largeish selection at 1/2 price. I think they are based in Lemmington Spa.

If you are serious about fireworks then I would advise you to join http://www.firework-review.org.uk/ as there are full reviews and videos on a large quantity of fireworks. It will ensure you only buy fireworks that are good quality.

Which rockets were these from Epic? The 'Mega' ones? We got two free packs of those so would be interesting to see if they are decent.

The Rockets were Space Blaster rockets and about £3.00 per pack. They are quite good effects given the price.
