We’re asked all the time: What fireworks do I need for my New Year’s Eve party? We’ve served the Hull community year after year, so when it comes to celebrating- well, we know how.
What Makes a Firework a Good Choice for New Year’s Eve?
When it comes to picking fireworks, it all comes down to scale and time. For New Year’s Eve, you want to have all of your fireworks prepared and ready to ignite long before the countdown starts. You don’t want to be the house on the street that’s an hour late!
For that reason, we recommend compound fireworks. Compound fireworks are a group of fireworks linked together, meaning they can be set off with only a single ignition. For most small gatherings, a single compound firework will provide more than enough distraction to let someone sneak round to the front door. If you’re putting on a larger scale event, say for a community gathering, buying multiple compound fireworks with some variety to set off in-between is perfect.
Compound fireworks come in a variety of timings, varieties, and sizes. Here’s some of our favourites!
