2025's Top Pyro Picks: Best Fireworks for Under £10
You don’t need a lottery win to put on a display that gets the neighbours talking. In fact, some of the best fireworks in the UK cost less than a tenner — and still deliver serious sparkle. Whether you’re planning a back-garden birthday, Bonfire Night with friends, or just want a few extra bursts to pad out a bigger show, these budget-friendly beauties prove you can have fireworks and keep your wallet intact.
All the fireworks below are hand-picked favourites, tested, loved, and priced under £10. Each one is an excellent option in its own right — but fired in multiples, they’ll look like you’ve spent twice as much.
