A little busman’s holiday for HEX today. The story goes that Guy Fawkes used gunpowder made at the Battle mills for his plot.

The head in the picture is over 150 years old.

Calling all our .

We're busy selecting products for the 2024 range but we need your help.

We'd love to hear where you think we can improve our range. More rockets, more compounds, more 8 metre safety distance, more quiet products for example? Where can we improve?

What fireworks do you love that we don't have?

We can't wait to hear from you.

Good evening everyone.

We’ve just added Happy Shepherd to the HEX flock. It’s a great value small barrage. Perfect for garden displays.

Make sure you round one up this year too.

Gorgeous glittering bursts. This barrage features golden rising tails which burst into bright golden glittering fronds with alternating red, blue and purple stars. A delightful twinkling effect.

Yesterday was quiet fireworks, today is pure adrenalin.

Or Adrenalize to be more precise.

95 seconds of action from beginning to end. Go to the video and watch this complete display in a box.

A serious finale contender. We had to add this to the range. This single ignition barrage has really top quality colours presented in an interesting, high intensity firework. Starting straight up it changes to V formation and finally sweeps. Look out for the green strobe and palm core bursts especia...

Quiet Fireworks

Not all fireworks are big, loud, bursts.

There's a time and a place for them, but there's also a time and place for quieter products. We've carefully chosen fireworks that can be used in more noise sensitive locations. They're designed to be quieter than normal, but aren't silent.

Sometimes it's nice to see fireworks that don't need loud bangs to be attractive, introducing a different tone and feel to a section of a display. It may be that you want to have some fireworks but too much noise may be inappropriate for where you live. This selection of quiet fireworks fits the bil...

Display Builder Kits

If you can't decide what to get for your display we've created Display Builder Kits for you to enjoy.

We've selected fireworks that are suitable for a variety of budgets and spaces and most importantly they offer great value for money.

Welcome to HEXPack. Team HEX are professional pyrotechnicians and we want to share our passion for all things firework with you but we don't want to compromise on quality when it comes to our range of consumer fireworks. With our professional design heads on we have developed a range of ready select...

We have rockets suitable for 8 metre and 25 metre viewing distances.

Whether you buy a single large firework rocket or a firework rocket pack, rockets will always add an extra dimension to your display.

Rockets.

Our next instalment in the 'How To' series tonight focuses on Rockets.

If you have any questions please do call us on 07513 911572.

Read all the instructions on the rocket in daylight and make sure you have everything you need prior to set up. Make sure you use a suitable tube to fire the rocket. It must allow the rocket to rise freely once lit. Our rocket packs come with a tube supplied and we have additional tubes available to...

We've had a few customers ask about how to set up their fireworks, so in the lead up to the 5th we'll post some of our information pages.

This page explains how to set up and fire single ignition barrages.

If you have any question please do call us on 07513 911572.

When setting up a compound barrage (see They're Not MIBs - They're SIBs) do not be tempted to remove the firework from its outer carton. If you do you may damage the interlinking fuse and therefore compromise the functioning of the firework. The barrages will also be glued to a wooden board for supp...
