The Tradition Of Fireworks

When did you see your first fireworks display? Probably when you were a little child, but you’ll know they’ve been around for a lot longer than that. That’s the fantastic thing about fireworks; everyone you know (and will ever know), and everyone they know (and will ever know) is younger than the invention of fireworks – they’ve been around for so long, we can’t even specifically date when they were invented.

What we do know is that it all started in ancient China many centuries ago. Fireworks were invented there, but they weren’t used to celebrate anything just yet; they were part of religious ceremonies, and the loud noises and bright lights were meant to scare away any evil spirits that were lurking.

After a while, though, everyone realised that the fireworks were so much fun they wanted to use them more often, and why not during every day happy occasions? Which is where we find ourselves today, happily lighting the fuses of our firework cakes and loving the look of them as they burst into the sky.

Where Can You Buy Fireworks In The UK?

If you’re in the UK and you need fireworks for your event or celebration, you’ve got a couple of options when it comes to buying them – you can get them in a shop or online. Unless the physical store is one that specialises in fireworks, it’s probably best to stay away from this idea – buying fireworks from a supermarket, for example, might be fine, but it won’t be great. These fireworks tend to be much lower quality, bought in bulk and sold cheaply, so you’re likely to feel ripped off.

Buying online from a recognised and specialist website is a much better idea, and it’s something you can do with ease at Galactic Fireworks. It’s all about convenience when you think about fireworks for sale online, and who wouldn’t like that? In fact, there are lots of different advantages that make buying fireworks for sale UK online the best option of all.

One is that a website can have a much better selection of firework boxes and packs compared to a physical shop – which will only have a certain amount of room to store their stock. A website can have hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of the best quality fireworks for customers to choose from, ensuring that their event can be exactly what they want it to be. They won’t have to compromise just because they can’t find what they’re looking for (and if you can’t find what you’re looking for on our website, just contact us, and we’ll happily point you in the right direction!).

We mentioned convenience above, but don’t forget that websites are also accessible by all, so even if you can’t go to a physical store (or would prefer not to), you can still buy excellent fireworks from the comfort of your own home at any time of the day or night that suits you. You won’t have to fit in buying fireworks for sale UK around other commitments, and if your nearest physical fireworks supplier is a fair distance away, buying online just makes so much sense – we’ll deliver your fireworks directly to your door and you won’t have to worry about a thing.

You’ll also be able to read reviews and get recommendations before you commit to buying anything because you’ve got the luxury of time when you’re buying online. That’s not necessarily something you can do in a shop – it’s certainly possible to use your phone to check reviews, but would you? You’re already there, so you might not do it, and by the time you get the fireworks home and realise they’re not good quality, it will be too late. Review helps you make an informed decision, and reading them before making any purchase is always a good idea, and when you’re buying online, the process becomes much easier.

What about special offers and promotions? Again, you’ll find many more of them (and better ones) when you start looking online. Online retailers often have fantastic offers (take a look at ours, and you’ll see what we mean), like buy three get one free, bulk discounts, and free delivery. This can make your shopping experience much better and give you some excellent savings – you can even use those savings to buy more fireworks for sale online!

Finally, online shopping for fireworks helps with information. When you browse a website, you’ll come across product descriptions for each firework, letting you know precisely what they are, the colours they come in, and even how they look when they’re bursting into the sky. You’ll be able to make much better choices when you’ve got more information, and that means your firework display can be the very best. You can buy fireworks online today and be completely satisfied with your purchases.

Firework Safety Is Vital

Although fireworks can be amazing and are always beautiful, it’s crucial to remember that you also need to treat them with respect – they can be dangerous when they’re not handled in the right way.

Firstly, you need to make sure you’re buying fireworks that comply with all the local and UK safety guidance. That means they need to reach a certain level and be certified, so if you can’t see that all-important certification, don’t buy. If the website or shop you’re buying from can’t provide evidence that their fireworks are safe and above board, don’t buy. In fact, if anything seems strange or you just don’t feel as though the fireworks you’re looking at are safe for any reason, don’t buy. It’s far better to be safe than sorry, so take a look at the fireworks Galactic Fireworks has for sale – they’re all up to the latest safety standards and, as long as you follow the instructions, they’re safe to use. Plus, don’t forget that your local authority will have rules about fireworks, too, including maximum noise levels. Make sure you understand what these rules are before you start organising anything, as you don’t want to make any mistakes and do anything illegal.

Another great way to make sure your fireworks are safe is to pick just one person to light them. This is the responsible person, and it’s their job to make sure people are standing far enough back and to light the fuses. When only one person does this job, it means there’s no confusion, and you won’t have a group of people wandering about close to the fireworks, unsure if they’re lit or not. One person in control means far less margin for error. Make sure that whoever is handling the fireworks is wearing protective clothing, too – gloves are a must, and they need to be in long-sleeved tops and trousers. Open-toe shoes are a bad idea, so avoid those at all costs (burned toes aren’t fun!). Plus, invest in some safety goggles; they might not look all that stylish, but they’re an excellent way to keep your eyes safe from stray sparks and explosions.

One rule to bear in mind, even if you’re organising a larger display, is to only ever light one firework at a time. This means no one is going to be close to any lit fireworks while they light others, and it also means there’s less of an explosion taking place at one time – it’ll be quieter (great for sticking to the rules) and safer. If you do need more than one firework to go off at once – perhaps because you’ve got a whole sequence and pattern planned – then use a firework system. This piece of technology means you can program the fireworks to go off when you want them to without you having to be close to them.
