Best Fountains of 2025 You Can Still Buy for New Year’s Eve
For those who love the magic of fireworks without the mayhem, fountains are a must. They’re the gentle crowd-pleasers — perfect for smaller gardens, family parties, and anyone who prefers sparkle over shockwaves.
Here are the best firework fountains of 2025 you can still buy for New Year’s Eve, chosen for their colour, duration, and sheer visual charm.
Fantasia Fountain
Simple, colourful, and loved by the Epic team — Fantasia is the perfect garden fountain for families. Over 60 seconds, it delivers a cheerful mix of multi-level effects, including blue stars, crackling flowers, and bright mine bursts that fill the air without overpowering the night. Great value, low noise, and guaranteed smiles — Fantasia proves that smaller fireworks can still put on a dazzling show.
Halo Fountain
If you want variety packed into one compact piece, Halo delivers. It kicks off with bubbling lava and chrysanthemum crackles before shifting through strobes and golden showers of sparks. Designed for back gardens, it’s budget-friendly and beautiful — the kind of fountain that keeps kids wide-eyed and adults quietly impressed.
Peacock Fountain
A classic from Standard Fireworks, Peacock is all about grace and spectacle. It begins with soft silver sprays that rise into the air before bursting into wide “trident” plumes and golden flittering effects. A mix of quiet moments and playful whistles keeps things interesting for a full 60 seconds. Elegant, balanced, and surprisingly grand for a single fountain.
Frosty Fountain
Meet Frosty — a snowman that doesn’t melt, but does light up the night. This 100-second centrepiece starts with silver sparks and crackling chrysanthemums before switching through golds, blues, and reds, ending with a cheeky finale as Frosty’s “arms” erupt with V-shaped bursts. It’s part fireworks display, part festive showpiece, and an absolute hit with families. Perfect for Christmas and New Year’s Eve celebrations alike.
Star Shower Fountain
Think of Star Shower as Super Conic’s little sister — smaller, but full of sparkle. Over 70 seconds, it fires vivid red and orange stars through soft silver crackles, reaching surprising heights for its size. It’s quiet enough for family gardens yet punchy enough to make an impression. Brilliant value for money and ideal for mixed-age crowds.
Spectrum Fountain
Few fireworks are as mesmerising as Spectrum from Standard Fireworks. It produces the rare “jelly bean” effect — thick, glowing blobs of multicoloured stars that leap into the air and even dance across the ground. Low-noise, colourful, and completely unique, this one’s perfect for smaller spaces or anyone who loves fireworks with character.
FAQs: Everything You Need to Know About Firework Fountains
What is a firework fountain?
A fountain is a ground-based firework that emits showers of sparks, crackles, and colours rather than aerial bursts. They’re great for smaller spaces, lower noise levels, and adding variety to a display — especially when used alongside rockets or barrages.
Are fountains safe for small gardens?
Yes — most consumer fountains are classified as F2, meaning they only need 8 metres of safety distance. Just make sure the ground is flat, place them on a firm surface, and never lean over them after lighting.
How long do fountains last?
It varies — smaller ones last around 40–60 seconds, while larger pieces like Frosty run for up to 100 seconds. Many display packs mix shorter and longer fountains for pacing and contrast.
Are fountains suitable for children?
They’re the best choice for family-friendly displays. Fountains are low-noise, colourful, and stay on the ground, making them less intimidating for younger viewers (though adults should always do the lighting).
Can I use fountains indoors or on patios?
No — only use fireworks outdoors and on non-flammable surfaces. Fountains create real sparks and hot debris, so they need open space and distance from people, pets, and plants.
What are the quietest fireworks for New Year’s Eve?
Fountains are among the quietest options, along with low-noise barrages and sparkler displays. If you’re celebrating in a noise-sensitive area, pick F2-rated low-noise fountains like Halo, Peacock, or Spectrum.
Can I still buy firework fountains for New Year’s Eve 2025?
Absolutely — but stock sells out quickly in December. Epic Fireworks offers nationwide delivery and the UK’s biggest range of consumer fireworks, from compact garden goodies to large family favourites.
