British Firework Championships 2021, Plymouth - Day One

Join us for the first night of this year’s British Firework Championships in Plymouth, dedicated to those who lost their lives so tragically in Keyham.
And in a special tribute to the victims, Maxine Davison, Sophie Martyn, Lee Martyn, Stephen Washington and Kate Shepherd, five heart-shaped fireworks will be set off at 9.15pm on Wednesday and Thursday evening.
Everyone in attendance is invited to shine a light from their phones during the one-minute silence that will be held before the five individual fireworks are launched to signify each life lost during the recent tragic event in Keyham.
This will be followed by a minute-long round of applause in memory of Maxine, Sophie, Lee, Stephen and Kate to celebrate their lives.
Three 10-minute firework displays will then take place each day, beginning at 9.30pm, as six top firework companies battle it out over two nights, each putting on an awe-inspiring ten minute display in an attempt to be crowned the winner. The winner will be declared on Thursday 19 August after all displays have taken place.
