Fireworks [Northern Ireland only]

Hello,

I live in Newry, and I am looking for fireworks for upcoming Halloween.

I'm looking for quality + good value, anyone recommend a place to buy? (willing to travel up as far as belfast),

cheers,

Kevin

Anyone know of any good places?

cheers

You now need a licence to buy any fireworks which are not category one (suitable for indoor use) in Northern Ireland.

That basically means you need a licence for anything except sparklers.

Martin who owns the shop up in the market can do brilliant deals but he only stocks Diamond, the men shun are far far better
I can pm you his number.

That law is not enforced on category 1 or 2 fireworks, at least it wasn't last year or any previous years.
Some sellers will also sell you Category 3 without problem too

It was one of the shops in the Jonesboro market, it had a SALE sign up outside, and was just called 'Fireworks' if I recall correctly,

very good prices.

Yes there is. As you drive in theres a shop on the left that says - "Fireworks On Sale Here" on the shop window.

Do they sell to you if you dont have a licence and would they accept euro??

Kevin! · 14-10-2010 8:34pm

Yes a license is not required when buying fireworks in the market and your probably better off with euro as they normally take euro for pound there.

to the best of my knowledge people from the south dont need a license
(i could be wrong on that i have never been asked)
yes they take euro i would recommend bring sterling though as sometimes,
the exchange rate they offer you is bad

Yes and yes, I'd say they would even take dollars if you had them.

It really depends on the shop and the brand, but I paid 2 for 5e on the 32 shot repeaters and i think 2 for 5 on the 5 pack repeaters (bad boy)

ben2k9 · 18-10-2010 12:00am

I'm looking to get fireworks for Halloween except I wouldn't have a clue where to go.

Is there anywhere in the north where i can buy bulk amounts of rockets and baners without a license? If so where's my best bet?

try NOT to avoid the market on Sunday, if you go any other day you face a premium price - theres loads of competition on Sunday.
