Fireworks Safety

Free Voluntary Firework Display Registration Scheme

Are you planning to hold a public firework display?

If the answer is yes then please read the information below.

To ensure that everyone enjoys a happy, accident free event, the Council runs a free Voluntary Firework Display Registration Scheme for those organising firework displays in the area. Access a list of these registered firework displays.

Once a completed application form is received, an appointment will be made to carry out an advisory site visit and some recommendations for improvement to assist you in delivering a safe event may be provided.

Successful applications will be issued with a Certificate of Registration.

If you would like to apply for a registration please complete the online application form or contact the Commercial Team - Public Protection.

The Council does not organise, run or supervise these events. The organisers of these events have sought safety advice from the Council and it has been provided in accordance with Health and Safety Executive publications; "Giving your own firework display: How to run and fire it safely" and "Working together on firework displays: A guide to safety for firework display organisers and operators".
