With Bonfire Night rapidly approaching, many households will be looking forward to seeing some fireworks and bonfire displays.
However, with Manchester City Council announcing that it will axe its displays this year due to costs, many may be considering hosting their own private event. While this may seem like a fun idea for friends and family, it's important to familiarise yourself with Britain's fireworks laws to avoid landing yourself in a heap of trouble.
The most important law to consider is that you can be fined an unlimited amount of money as well as receive up to six months in prison for either selling or using fireworks illegally. You can also receive a £90 fine on the spot.
