A little heads-up makes all the difference

From Bonfire Night and New Year’s Eve to Diwali, weddings and birthdays — fireworks are woven into the moments that matter most. A simple advance alert lets nearby pet owners and residents prepare calmly, so everyone can enjoy the occasion.

Register your display in under two minutes. Nearby residents and pet owners get a friendly heads-up, giving them time to settle their pets and close windows — before the first firework flies.

Your exact address is never shared — only an approximate sound radius is shown on the map.

Our Mission

Preserving the Magic, Protecting Our Community

Helping communities enjoy fireworks while keeping pets and neighbours safe

Why Fireworks Matter to Our Heritage

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

Growing Celebrations

Today’s calendar is filled with joyous occasions - New Year’s Eve, Diwali, Chinese New Year, weddings, and personal milestones. Each celebration brings its own magic, and fireworks help us mark life’s most precious moments.

🎊 🪔 🧧 💒

A Personal Journey

I still remember the wonder in my eyes as a young boy, watching fireworks paint the night sky. That same joy lives on as I celebrate responsibly with my daughter every 5th November - creating memories that will last her lifetime.
