The Fireworks
The Festival of Fireworks has been organised by worldwide firework display experts Jubilee Fireworks since 1999. It is a well-loved event held on the first Saturday of September each year, in the stunning grounds of Catton Hall in Derbyshire.
Four incredible firework displays set to music and choreographed by leading display teams, light up the skies and amaze spectators. Unlike most firework events, there are no ‘competition rules’ to the style of design, so each company is able to showcase their artistry without restriction, and why so many people tell us that they’ve never seen anything like it before.
Thousands of aerial shells are set off during the Festival of Fireworks. Typically at a firework event, you may see aerial shells with a maximum diameter of 6″. We have fired shells with a diameter of 16″! These shells are rarely seen in the UK and were specially imported into the UK by Jubilee Fireworks specifically for the Festival and the only event in the UK that you may see such enormous and stunning effects.

Seeing is believing…
