Supermarkets are a popular option for many as, not only are they everywhere, but they also tend to have some pretty decent fireworks offers.

A quick introduction to fireworks

Fireworks are great fun, but all these different names can be confusing.

We’ve given you a quick rundown of the most popular types of fireworks.

Cake: A cake is a multi-shot firework that has its effects in tubes, so they are aligned horizontally, so you’d have tubes side-by-side, rather than stacked on top of each other.

(Roman) candle: A firework with its effects packed in a cardboard tube, as opposed to the cake’s horizontal makeup.

Finale: Fireworks which are kept for the end and are noisier than the others.

Fountain: A static firework that creates a fountain effect and a crackly sound when ignited.

Mine: All of the elements of the firework are lit at the same time and shoot upward from a card tube.

Rocket: A firework that takes off and displays its effects in the air.

Wheel: Also, known as the Catherine Wheel, these fireworks spin quickly to create a wheel of sparks.
