Shop Diwali Fireworks by Type
Diwali Fountain Fireworks
Fountain fireworks are the most popular choice for home Diwali displays. They sit on the ground, light from a single fuse, and produce a steady column of coloured sparks and effects for anywhere between 30 seconds and two minutes depending on the size. Safe for smaller gardens with a minimum 5-metre clearance, and ideal if you want a display you can enjoy without the noise of aerial fireworks.
Diwali Sparklers
Sparklers for Diwali are used by families across the UK every year — for photos, for the children, and as part of the evening’s lighting traditions. We stock standard 10-inch and 18-inch sparklers as well as longer-burning options. Sparklers must be held at arm’s length and should not be given to children under five. Keep a bucket of water nearby to drop spent sparklers into.
Diwali Selection Boxes and Packs
Diwali selection boxes are the simplest way to buy if you want variety without choosing each item individually. A selection box gives you a mix of fountains, Roman candles, sparklers and smaller cakes in one package. Good for anyone who wants a complete Diwali display from a single purchase.
Diwali Rockets and Cakes
Rockets and barrage cakes are the centrepiece products for larger Diwali displays. A barrage cake fires a sequence of aerial shots from a single lighting point — some running 25 shots or more over 30 to 60 seconds. Rockets give you height and impact. These products suit open spaces and larger gardens. If you are hosting a communal Diwali event with neighbours or extended family, this is where the display gets serious.

Diwali Fireworks Buying Guide — What to Choose for Your Celebration
Not sure what to buy or how much to spend? This guide breaks down Diwali fireworks prices by budget so you can see exactly what each level gets you.
Under £50
At this price point, you are looking at sparklers, a single fountain, or a small selection box. That is enough for a quiet family display at home — light a few fountains in the garden, hand out sparklers, and enjoy the evening. Many families celebrate Diwali exactly this way, and there is nothing wrong with keeping things simple.
A pack of sparklers and a single fountain is a good starting point — browse our Diwali range above to find options at this price point.
£50–150
This is where most Diwali fireworks orders land. For £50 to £150, you get a proper garden display — a selection box, two or three fountains of different sizes, a pack of sparklers, and possibly a Roman candle or single barrage cake. Expect a display that runs 15 to 20 minutes if you space things out.
Good combinations at this level:
- A selection box plus a standalone fountain and a sparkler pack — gives you variety and ground-level effects
- A mid-range selection box on its own, if you want everything in one package without choosing individual items
£150 and Above
This is the full display. Multiple barrage cakes, a selection box, rockets, fountains and sparklers. If you are hosting a larger family gathering or a community Diwali event, this tier gives you enough product for a continuous display that fills the garden or open space for 20 to 30 minutes.
At this level, you are looking at:
- A barrage cake as your centrepiece — these start around £40-60 individually, with larger multi-shot cakes running higher
- A large selection box for variety across the whole display
- Fountains and sparklers for ground-level effects between the aerial shots
Orders over £300 qualify for free UK delivery — most orders at this tier will reach that threshold.
About Diwali — The Festival of Lights
What Is Diwali?
Diwali, also known as Deepavali, is a five-day festival celebrated by Hindu, Sikh, Jain, and some Buddhist communities worldwide. It runs from Dhanteras through to Bhai Dooj, with the main night — Diwali itself — falling on the third day. The festival marks the victory of light over darkness and knowledge over ignorance. Families clean and decorate their homes, share food, exchange gifts, and light oil lamps and candles. In the UK, Diwali is one of the most widely celebrated cultural events outside of Christmas and Eid.
Why Are Fireworks Part of Diwali Celebrations?
Fireworks have been part of Diwali for centuries. The tradition is rooted in the idea of filling the sky with light — celebrating Lord Rama’s return to Ayodhya, welcoming the goddess Lakshmi into the home, and marking the triumph of good over evil. In South Asian tradition, the term “crackers” refers broadly to fireworks and specifically to small firecrackers and ground-level pyrotechnics like patakas and anar. Our fountain fireworks, sparklers, and ground-level effects are the closest UK-legal equivalent to traditional Diwali crackers — all CE marked and sold for consumer use.
When Is Diwali 2026?
Diwali 2026 falls on Thursday 8 October 2026. The date changes each year because it follows the Hindu lunar calendar — Diwali is celebrated on the new moon (Amavasya) of the month of Kartik. The five days of the festival run from Monday 5 October (Dhanteras) through Saturday 10 October (Bhai Dooj). The main night for fireworks is Thursday 8 October.
UK Fireworks Law for Diwali
Diwali Fireworks Curfew — The 1am Exception
On most nights of the year, consumer fireworks cannot legally be set off after 11pm. Diwali night is one of four exceptions. On Diwali, the curfew extends to 1am — the same exception that applies to Bonfire Night, New Year’s Eve, and Chinese New Year. This means you can set off fireworks on the evening of Thursday 8 October 2026 until 1am on Friday 9 October without breaking any curfew rules.
There is no restriction on what time you start, but fireworks after 11pm on any other night of the Diwali festival period (before or after the main night) are subject to the standard 11pm curfew.
Safety Rules for Home Firework Displays
Consumer fireworks in the UK are Category F2 and F3 products. The key rules:
- Fireworks cannot be sold to anyone under 18.
- It is illegal to set off fireworks in a street or public place.
- Fireworks must not be used to cause harassment, alarm, or distress.
- Keep a safe distance from buildings, fences, and dry vegetation. Most products specify a minimum 8-metre safety distance on the label.
- Light fireworks at arm’s length, retire to a safe distance, and never return to a firework that has not gone off.
- Sparklers should not be given to children under five. Older children should hold them at arm’s length and wear gloves.
- Keep a bucket of water or sand nearby for spent fireworks and sparklers.
For the full legal position, see the GOV.UK fireworks rules page.

Frequently Asked Questions About Diwali Fireworks
Diwali 2026 is on Thursday 8 October. The five-day festival runs from Monday 5 October (Dhanteras) to Saturday 10 October (Bhai Dooj). The main night for fireworks and celebrations is Thursday 8 October, the night of the new moon.
On Diwali night, you can set off consumer fireworks until 1am. This is one of four nights per year where the usual 11pm curfew is extended. On all other nights during the Diwali period, the 11pm limit applies.
It depends on the size of your celebration. For a small family display at home, £30 to £50 covers sparklers and a fountain or two. For a proper garden display lasting 15 to 20 minutes, expect to spend £50 to £150 on a mix of fountains, sparklers, and a selection box. For a larger communal event, £150 and above gets you multiple barrage cakes, rockets, and a full programme. See our buying guide above for specific product suggestions at each tier.
Yes. We recommend placing your order at least two weeks before Diwali (by late September for 2026) to allow comfortable delivery time. Free delivery applies to orders over £300.

Sparklers burn at very high temperatures and should be treated with the same caution as any firework. They should not be given to children under five. Children aged five and over should hold sparklers at arm’s length, wear gloves, and be supervised at all times. Have a bucket of water ready to drop spent sparklers into — they stay hot long after the flame has gone out. Sparklers are a traditional part of Diwali celebrations, and they are safe when handled properly.
They are the same festival. “Diwali” is the shortened form used primarily in North India and by most Sikh and Jain communities. “Deepavali” is the full Sanskrit form, used more widely in South India, Sri Lanka, and some Southeast Asian communities. Both terms mean “row of lights.” In the UK, “Diwali” is the more common spelling, but either is correct.
