Firework Champions 2025: Eastnor Castle – A Firework Showdown in the Malvern Hills

If you love fireworks, you won’t want to miss this. On Saturday 6th September 2025, Eastnor Castle transforms into a battleground for the UK’s best firework teams, all competing for your vote.

Three top pyrotechnic teams will each fire a 10-minute display perfectly set to music, using professional-grade category 4 fireworks that are far bigger and bolder than anything available to the public. It’s a full-scale firework competition, and you get to decide the winner.

Throw in a high-tech drone show, food, drinks, children’s entertainment, and a huge closing display from Pyrotex Fireworks, and you’ve got a night that’s definitely worth marking in your calendar.

How It Works – The Ultimate Firework Competition

This isn’t just a firework display—it’s a competition, and you’re in charge of picking the winner.

Three of the UK’s best firework companies will each put on a 10-minute display, all choreographed to music, using professional-only fireworks that light up the sky with huge bursts, intricate effects, and stunning colours.

Once all three teams have fired their displays, it’s over to you. Vote for your favourite via text, and once the votes are in, the winner is announced.

Then, just when you think the night is over, Pyrotex Fireworks will take to the skies with an epic closing display, ensuring the night ends with a bang.

The 2025 Competitors – Who’s in the Running?

Team One: Chase Lane Fireworks – Known for their precision and creativity, Chase Lane Fireworks bring perfectly timed effects, bold colours, and dramatic sequences to their displays.

Team Two: Galaxy IOM Fireworks – This team knows how to fill the sky with stunning effects. Expect big bursts, clever transitions, and a show designed to wow the crowd.

Team Three: AJ Pyrotechnics – Masters of seamless choreography, AJ Pyrotechnics combine intense build-ups, powerful crescendos, and perfectly timed musical coordination for a show that sticks with you.

And after all that, Pyrotex Fireworks will take over for the final display of the night—because there’s always room for one more incredible show.
