Kimbolton Fireworks was founded by the
Reverand Ronald Lancaster MBE in 1964. The company started
from modest workshops to continue research and development
for the firework industry. In 1990 the company moved to
a purpose built factory, the only facility of its kind in
the country. Kimbolton Fireworks are now the last manufacturers
of large display fireworks in Britain ensuring their place
as the market leaders.
The greatest advantage of being a manufacturer
is the flexibility when designing displays. Kimbolton fireworks
were commissioned to fire the VJ Day celebrations on the
Themes, 18 tones of fireworks fired from 5 barges, probably
still the largest display ever seen in the UK. Kimbolton
Fireworks reputation is not limited to the shores of Britain.
In 1997 Kimbolton Fireworks fired the display to celebrate
the hand over of Hong Kong to the Chinese Government.
We offer a complete range of operator
fired displays ranging from private functions and product
launches, to national and international events. As Britain's
last remaining manufacturer of Display Fireworks, we pride
ourselves on being able to offer the best value for money
and have the ability to tailor any display to your own specific
requirements.
Our minimum budget is around £1800
(ex VAT) all inclusive of labor, materials, transport and
£2 million insurance. We believe this budget provides
an adequate 12-15 minute display for medium sized audiences.
At the other end of the scale we have fired many displays
where the budget is between £2000 and £5000
per minute or even more as at our recent Hong Kong "Handover"
display for example.

The Display Site
We do need sufficient area for setting
up our display and for fall-out. Ideally we need about 100m
x 200m clear area, but often we are able to modify our displays
to cater for more restricted sites. Naturally we would want
to visit the proposed site with you at an early stage in
the planning of your event to determine the best display
site and to decide what fireworks would be most suitable
for your display. We have a booklet on organizing a safe
firework display, which we will forward on request.

Fireworks and Music
To combine fireworks and music successfully
is both time consuming and expensive. Kimbolton Fireworks
fire many displays to both live and taped music and would
be pleased to assist you in planning such events. We work
closely with a number of Orchestras, and have access to
some of the finest sound studios in the UK.
Kimbolton Fireworks produce much of the
material we use in our own displays, particularly Roman
candles, mines, shells and fountains. In addition we use
quality material from a limited number of suppliers in Europe
and the Far East. We use imported materials to supplement
and extend our own range - we always aim to have as much
variety as possible in our displays.
