Fireworks
Whilst some people love the sight of fireworks, Bonfire Night can be a very distressing time for many people and animals across the country. You can respect their right to feel safe, whilst still having a good time.
Remember - the safest way to enjoy fireworks is by going to an organised, public display.
They’re often free to attend and you’ll be able to have fun without spending money, worrying that someone will get hurt or that your actions will upset people in your community.
Fireworks and the Law
It is an offence to:
- Possess fireworks under the age of 18
- Sell fireworks to anyone under 18
- Buy or supply fireworks to anyone under 18 (apart from category F1 fireworks e.g. party poppers)
- Let off fireworks before 6pm and after 11pm (after midnight on Bonfire Night or after 1am on Hogmanay, Chinese New Year & Diwali)
- Throw or set off fireworks in a public place
- Cause unnecessary suffering to animals
