## Key points

- Fireworks are generally permitted until 11pm on private property.
- Bonfire Night use can continue until midnight.
- Public-place use can bring a £90 fine.

## Summary

Barristers have reminded households that fireworks can generally be set off on private property between 7am and 11pm, with later cut-off times on certain celebrations. The rules matter because using fireworks in public places can lead to an on-the-spot fine, while other breaches may carry more serious penalties.

On Bonfire Night, fireworks may be used until midnight; on New Year’s Eve, Diwali and Chinese New Year, the limit is 1am. Setting off any type of firework, including sparklers, in a public place can bring a £90 fine, and some offences may result in an unlimited fine or up to six months’ imprisonment. Age limits and restrictions on professional Category 4 fireworks also apply.
