Around 20 million people enjoy fireworks at home every year, but campaigners are calling for displays that produce less noise. Their campaign has prompted questions about whether traditional noisy fireworks could eventually disappear from Bonfire Night celebrations.
Fireworks remain a popular part of home celebrations, with millions of people taking part annually. The campaigners’ focus is on reducing the noise associated with fireworks rather than ending displays altogether.
The material available does not give details of any proposed restrictions, replacement products or timetable for change. It also does not identify the campaigners or set out responses from the fireworks industry, officials or members of the public. For now, the issue is whether future Bonfire Night celebrations will continue to feature noisy fireworks or move towards quieter alternatives.
