Firework Emporium ended their review evening in style with a professional display featuring fanned effects, crossettes and pretty red and blue aerial shells.


Fanned effects left and right with red and blue shell
breaks in the centre - stunning!

If you're a member you can click on any image below from the stills camera to see the display in detail!

The fan sequence started the show and followed on in fact from the final review item, Men Shun's fan cake Invincible Armada. It was good to see how a professional cat 4 fan cake compared...

The bigger bore effects were obvious, creating pretty red tails turning to silver spinners.

Another fan sequence was started which broke to a line of red stars, this complimented the first effect really well.

Another fan of red breaks across the sky while the next effect, silver crossettes, starts (you can see the comets launching up through the middle).


Firing from three positions, the professional crew treated us to
a display that lit up the whole field.

The crossettes start as the red fanned effect dies down.

This is a nice view of the silver crossettes. These were fired from two positions and despite being fairly quiet, they worked really well.

Then we had a coloured crossette sequence, and this was magical, filling the sky with splitting and crossing coloured stars.

Another view of the ground which is illuminated by the effects above.

Here you can see more fanned effects left and right, and in the middle a number of shells and crossettes break to form coloured trails.


Three VERY big red and blue shells from near the finale.

Two huge shells explode between the fanned effects.

Well done to FE for a really cool end to a very enjoyable evening. Many thanks for your hospitality and time, and allowing UKFR members to have a good nose around your shop and the review site. Feedback from members has been very positive, and the evening was a success on all fronts. We saw some wonderful new products and revisited many existing classics, before being treated to a pro display. Brilliant.
