The cost of a 10-minute fireworks display in the UK can vary significantly depending on several factors, including the type, quantity, effects of the fireworks, and whether special designs are included. Based on research, we can provide some general information regarding the cost of fireworks displays.

Firstly, the cost of a fireworks display not only includes the fireworks themselves but also covers transportation, storage, setup, fees for professional pyrotechnicians, and possibly insurance and permit fees. Additionally, if the display includes special effects or custom designs, such as fireworks in specific shapes or words, the cost will increase accordingly. How much do fireworks cost?

In the UK, fireworks for personal use can only be purchased from registered sellers on specific dates, and the person setting off the fireworks must be over 18 years old. Furthermore, fireworks cannot be set off between 11 PM and 7 AM, except on certain occasions like Bonfire Night on November 5th, Diwali, New Year’s Eve, and Chinese New Year.

The location and scale of the display also affect the cost. For example, a fireworks display at Alexandra Palace in London may be more expensive due to its size and reputation. Ticket prices for some public fireworks events can range from tens to hundreds of pounds, but this typically does not include the cost of the fireworks display itself.
