Fountains

About

Quick answer: Firework fountains are ground-level pyrotechnics that spray sparks, crackle and colour upwards from a cone or tube – no aerial effects and minimal noise. Every fountain we sell is 1.4G classified, making them the quietest firework type in the range. Prices start from £7.99, with most rated F2 (8-metre safety distance). Firework Fountains – Ground-Level Colour With Minimal Noise Fountains are the firework you light when you want something beautiful without waking the neighbours. They sit on the ground and spray sparks, crackle and colour upwards – nothing flies into the air, nothing goes bang. Just a cascade of light at close range that everyone can stand near and enjoy. Of the 8 main types of fireworks sold in the UK, fountains are the quietest and the most garden-friendly – which is why they're often the first thing we recommend to families starting out. Every fountain in this collection is 1.4G classified, which is the quieter classification. Most are also F2-rated (8-metre safety distance), so they'll work in a standard back garden. If you've got young kids, pets, or neighbours who aren't thrilled about fireworks, fountains are where to start. What Do Fountain Fireworks Actually Look Like? Think of a cone or tube on the ground shooting a spray of sparks and colour 2 to 4 metres into the air. The smaller ones – like Chunky Monkey and Laser from Brothers Pyrotechnics – give you about a minute of golden and silver showers. They're simple but they look great, especially grouped together. The bigger fountains are where things get interesting. Krakatoa from Primed Pyrotechnics (£19.99) runs for 80 seconds with colour changes and crackle phases. Pyramid Twist from Gemstone (£29.99) is a proper centrepiece – a twisted pyramid shape that's as much about the look of the firework itself as the effects it produces. And Glitzy XXL from Pyroworx (£29.99) is one of the tallest-spraying fountains we stock. If you want a full ground-level show from one purchase, the
