Family. Friends.
Unforgettable fireworks.
Make memories beneath the Cheshire skies, with spectacular displays and a beautiful country house setting.
Bringing people together under spectacular skies since 2003, Firework Champions is an evening to share with family and friends. Whether you love fireworks or simply fancy a great night out, come early, settle in and make yourself at home.
Bring your own food and drink for a picnic, or treat yourself to something from the on-site food and drink stalls. Pack your chairs and blankets, enjoy the music before the displays, and take some time to chat, chill and relax. There’s fairground fun at selected venues too.
Then, as darkness falls, get ready for four extraordinary firework shows, perfectly timed to music. A relaxed evening together becomes a night you’ll be talking about long afterwards.
4 amazing shows. 3 competing teams. 1 champion. You decide.
Watch three of the UK’s finest firework teams compete for your vote, followed by a spectacular fourth closing display. All four shows are perfectly timed to music, bringing the skill and creativity of the industry’s best to the skies. Expect fireworks like you’ve never seen before.

Celestial Fireworks

Celestial Firework Displays are a Leicestershire based professional display company that came into being in 2008, and offer high quality displays across the UK for all occasions.
The company comprises a collective of likeminded pyrotechnic enthusiasts for whom fireworks are as much a part of their social lives as they are the core business of the company. The ultimate expression of this has to be building a fire-breathing dragon and “flying” it across a Harry Potter themed event!
We were also the first to pioneer the innovative “mine chaser” with the incredible aeroSPARX formation aerobatic display team. For us, firework displays are imagination made manifest, and the same care and attention is given to all our displays whether it be a huge 10-second “hit” or a 20 minute extravaganza.
Competition displays have become a staple for us in recent times, most recently gaining a prestigious 2nd place in the 2024 British Firework Championships in Plymouth, following on from our 3rd prize in the 2023 British Musical Firework Championships in Southport. We are super excited to share our passion and hope to win our audience’s hearts at the Newby Hall Firework Champions 2025!

Galaxy Fireworks has been lighting up the sky's for 19 years offering private, corporate and public events.
Generally we use FireTek as our main firing system but also FireOne and Cobra at some displays.
This is our second time at Firework Champions and after a few issues last time out we are hoping for a better showing this time around.
We've had a few stand out shows including The British Musical Firework Championships at Southport, the homecoming of the Isle of Man's flagship vessel the Manxman for the Steampacket Company and last years Festival of Fireworks.
We Look forward to seeing you there!
