Up in smoke!

THE British Fireworks Championships return with a very big bang this year on August 12/13.

Exploding with tens of thousands of rockets and spectacular mortars, the very best of the country's firework display teams take on one another for the grand title in what is one of the biggest annual displays put on by professional firework companies in the UK.

Spectacular performances start each night just as darkness falls on the Hoe. Entertainment – other than that provided by the four tonnes of fireworks – includes a traditional fairground.

Despite varying weather conditions over the years – and even a WW2 bomb being found on the site – the event has successfully taken place every year since it started in 1997, although in 2012 the judges decided not to name a winner after gale force winds limited the scope of some of the displays on the second night.
