This is a new addition to the Epic lines and we are very happy with the feedback so far.

The Top Hat Fountain is a low noise fountain which is an unusual shape and excellent value for money. It has mixed effects and lasts around 95 seconds and is classified 1.4g. RRP is £7.99 and the Epic price is just £3.95 (inc. VAT) making it excellent value for money.

Some of the feedback from our customers indicates that the general public like this too:

• “WOW, extraordinary, genuinely gobsmacked at how good this little firework is”
• “Fantastic value for money, ideal for garden display. Varied, colourful and the blue is particularly vibrant”
• “I don’t usually buy small stuff but if you light 6 at a time in a half moon shape, it is a fantastic display”

If you are in the local area, why not pop along to see us in the showroom and get stocked up for Bonfire Night on 5th November.

We look forward to seeing you soon.

A blast from the past now by Standard Fireworks.

The Annual Gala barrage is now on sale at Epic Fireworks. This classic barrage was popular back in the early days of single ignitions and is still capable of impressing with its wide variety of effects.

With a long duration (1 minute 15 seconds) and the very respectable price of just £14.95 this should be a popular seller during this years silly season.

The best part for us was the little clusters of blue stars and accompanying silver fish. This is always a popular effect and blue and silver is a great colour combination as can be seen here in Dhillon and Barry’s bonfire night display. The guys mixed the Cobolt Blue with the Magneto barrage and the effect was brilliant.

But back to the Annual Gala, this is a small but effective barrage and one of the earlier “display in a box” fireworks that the were introduced in their droves in the UK after the Millenium. With Silver tails, glittering peonies, red and green stars, strobing, whistling tails, silver palms, crackles and those brilliant silver flying fish, it is easy to see why this has remained popular for so many years.

There are very few of these left in existence in Britain and they are sure to be in high demand. So get yourself down to Epic Fireworks (J36 off the M1) and grab yours today!!

Here is a fantastic image of an old fireworks poster. This shows many classic items that some of you may remember from your childhood, such as Mine of Serpents, Snow Storm, Robot Signals (the old name for traffic lights), Jack in the Box, Guy Fawkes Barrel and many many more. You can see them in more detail by clicking the image which will take you to the Epic Fireworks Flickr pages, you can then zoom in and see them in all their glory.

Fireworks packaging has always been important and the bright colours and interesting designs are definately part of what sells a firework. This is still true today, however with the advancement of the internet and the ability to see videos of fireworks before you buy them, the packaging and labelling have become less important and the quality of effect has taken the first place as the most important thing people look for when buying fireworks.

It’s just as well that Epic Fireworks continues to be the UKs leading supplier of high end pyrotechnics. We never compromise on quality and believe that every firework you buy should be the very best possible. Thats why we have hundreds of videos of fireworks on Youtube for you to compare and our website is always kept up to date with our latest barrages and rockets, wheels and fountains, and mines and roman candles, so you know you are buying the best.
