Since they were launched in 1997 by the Event Services Association (TESA) , the British Firework Championships have become a signature event for the UK firework industry attracting media coverage from as far afield as Australia. They return to Plymouth for a Champion of Champions special on 13-14 August 2025.

Starting at approximately 9.30pm (or as soon as it’s dark enough) there will be three 10 minute displays fired from Mountbatten breakwater.   Each display will use up to 550kg NEM (Net Explosive Mass) – that’s over three tonnes of pyrotechnics each.

With so many people visiting Plymouth for the event, the roads can easily become choked up with traffic, particularly at the end of the evening when everyone is trying to leave at the same time.

The Event Services Association, organisers of the British Firework Championships have issued the following guidelines for pet owners.
