One suggestion, if they are wanting 20 minutes, is to string out the first few minutes with glow lanterns, before you start the fireworks- a nice way to get things started.

You'll be surprised how few people will realise the display only lasted 10 mins - they will, however, remember whether it was good or not.

Gigantic Crab!!! also says: sparklers are generally a no-no these days at public events, but glo-sticks are a safe alternative and a good way to make a little more money on the night (so the budget can be upped!).

A definate no-no on the sparklers. They are not allowing them to be brought in by the parent either.

Glo-sticks already purchased but as a way to make money for the school rather than to increase my budget. Only way I get more money is if ticket sales do better than expected.

Another point, be sure your personal position on insurance and liability is totally clear.

Gigantic Crab!!! seems to have a bit of savvy.

Afraid I would be coming up from the other way - just outside London.

I see you are looking at another retailer around London. I'm near J14 on the M1 and will be making a pilgrimage to Epic this year. What area of London are you outside of, maybe we could plan a trip up, but that depends on if you are buying from closer to home and which side of the capital you are on?

Hello there

I am still not 100% where I will be buying my fireworks this year. Its still possible I may go to Epic but if I do then its going to be a family outing so going to have a car full I'm afraid.

I see you have posted on another thread here so good luck with finding someone to go with.

This could all be solved by Epic opening up a South East branch !!
