    they had loads of the pyrotimes at my asda last year, hopy they have them this year, they were an absolute bargain! the mine in that pack was worth a fiver on its own!
  • My brother eloped to get married cheeky sod! Now he's back and he's coming round for a meal to celebrate. He doesn't want a wedding present (I guess because he feels guilty about not having anyone at his wedding), so I thought a nice little firework show would be good to mark the occasion.
    Can anyone suggest a kit / what to buy for around the £100 mark that is good value and still pretty spectacular?
    Many thanks!

    Whereabouts are you based Rob? You'll really need an all year round seller for the sort of fireworks you're after, there's some decent packs available for around the £100 mark.

    Have a look here if you get 5 mins, lots of firework info and reviews :

    Hello mate :)

    Agree, FSW sounds a good choice based on your location.

    Still waiting to hear from Lidl!

    Im thinking of ordering my fireworks from online this year, hoping to spend around £100 and quite a few cakes plus Ive always wanted to try out one of those 'fire cracker/snake' things!

    Plus Il probably get some bits from Lidl etc too as they are too hard to resist :)

    Quite tempted by Galactic Fireworks since they only charge £15 for delivery!?

    I really hope lidl have some new fireworks this year.
    Just bought a couple of bright star celebration crackers from a local trader,dont know what to expect from them ,but ill film them so you can all see.
    You may get a better deal actually going to a retailer rather than ordering online.

    I know but the only store within a ok distance is the Firework Warehouse and while I have used them for the past couple of years(with a great service) I just felt like something a little different, plus not sure why but they don't seem to have added anything new to their site this year? :S

    Also would be nice if Lidl had a new range :)
