There is no better stage for a fireworks competition than Plymouth Hoe — a natural grandstand overlooking the waters of Plymouth Sound, one of the most scenic coastal locations in the UK. With panoramic views, historic landmarks and the open sea as a backdrop, it’s the perfect place to watch the night sky burst into colour.
The sound of the fireworks reverberating across the bay adds a thrilling acoustic layer, making this a truly immersive experience for all ages. Whether you’re a fireworks enthusiast, a photographer, or simply looking for an unforgettable summer night out, the Championships are a must-see highlight in the UK events calendar.
This year’s event brings together six of the UK’s most celebrated pyrotechnic companies. Throughout two nights, these elite teams will showcase their artistry and technical prowess in breathtaking displays.
