    There appears to be a page on this website where you can test special codes:
    http://www.atomicfireworks.co.uk
    I couldn't get your code to work. Am I doing something wrong?

    Does anyone else have a discount code for this website?
    All i want to do is save save save :)

    Avoid Dancing Red Devil especially, and probably TNT fireworks. Cheap tat imo, and you really do pay for what you get. If you have a small garden and only want to please the children then buy a cheap £10 box from one of the supermarkets.

    If you want some cakes (barrages) and some fireworks actually worth the money then try the seasonals or proper all year round shops. pop over to ukfr.com and check out the 'buy fireworks' section to see if you are close to any of the recommended shops.

    Please note that if you are told 'these are teh biggest in the country', 'nothing will beat this' etc etc, then all you are hearing is sales talk. Said fireworks will most likely be filled with plenty of air and not have any significant effects.

    telling you the truth that could be a matter of opinion! your dancing red devil and TNT are actually not bad, if you don't want the full display theme packages.

    now UKFR is actually good for the product review it self!, but they only have advertises for a choice! so really that not your best place to be for choosing your firework shop, you will have better luck visiting thefireworkshoplist.com and click the link "firework shop locator"

    This list get updated daily! so really you have more choices on were to buy and not get limited to who as paid to show there shop.

    i do agree with you there, i will say there sales gimmicks are a bit over board.

    I made my trip to Epic Fireworks (near leeds) at the weekend. I was very impressed. Their prices are very good and they even chucked in a free rocket (which is massive!)

    Certainly a lot better value than the supermarkets. It's nice to be able to see the fireworks (on video) before you buy them.

    Would recommend and will be back next year.
