    Firework Crazy do a review night where you can see all their fireworks lit one after the other so you can check them out before you buy! How cool is that.

    This year it's on October 2nd.

    Many supermarkets do not start selling them until the 15th October,as there is an additional licence needed if selling outside of the period 15 October to November 10th,with a exceptions for Chinese new Year,xmas and new year.
    I know the Co-operative no longer sell fireworks and I guess it will now be the same with Somerfield now they have been taken over.

    Yeah its true that supermarkets cannot sell fireworks until 15th October. Will be looking out for leaflets etc and if I see any I will be sure to post them on here!

    This year I wont be buying from supermarkets though as I wanted to go a little bigger and better than previous years!

    I have actually been and bought my fireworks (although they are for a birthday the week before bonfire night), I spent £70 and got those below, not a lot but v.big quality fireworks! I will definitely be going back before bonfire night I think!

    I would highly recommend The Firework Warehouse(where I went) for anyone in the North West England. It is located in St Helens and has a wide range of fireworks (more than on there website). Good thing about them also is that they also have a party shop at the store which sells al kinds for any party!

    Oh, just to let you know they also run four display nights to show off their firework collection before you buy, the dates are:

    Saturday 9th October
    Saturday 16th October
    Saturday 23rd October
    Saturday 30th October

    A Google search for "standard firework magic stars" found these websites

    I have never bought from these websites, so not sure if there any good.

    Epic fireworks seem to have the price side of things sewn up, no-one else even gets close especially on the selection boxes. Only drawback for me is that it's an approx 180 mile round trip, tempted nonetheless :D
