Our Mission

Preserving the Magic, Preparing Our Community

Helping communities enjoy fireworks while giving pets and neighbours time to prepare

Why Fireworks Matter

Bonfire Night Tradition

For over 400 years, Guy Fawkes Night has been a cornerstone of British culture. The 5th of November brings communities together, celebrating our shared history with spectacular displays that light up the autumn sky.

Since 1605

Every Occasion, Every Season

Fireworks aren’t just for one night. Weddings, birthdays, Diwali, Eid, Chinese New Year, gender reveals, sports victories, anniversaries, corporate displays — across the UK, people celebrate with fireworks all year round.

A Personal Journey

Fireworks have always felt special to me, and I still want families to enjoy them. Firework Pet Alert is about keeping that joy, while giving neighbours, pet owners, and vulnerable people the notice they need to feel prepared.

Fireworks are used for celebrations all year round:

Bonfire Night Weddings Diwali Eid Chinese New Year New Year’s Eve Birthdays Gender Reveals Sports Celebrations Anniversaries Community Displays Corporate Displays

The UK fireworks industry supports thousands of jobs and brings millions in economic value. We’re working alongside manufacturers, retailers, and display organisers to make it easy for everyone to enjoy fireworks considerately.
