The technical term used is SIB (for single ignition barrages) … these are fantastic as they tend to be longer lasting and there are a number on the market nowadays with a number of different features and explosive content, adding to the power behind the effect. Epic staff choices: Small 1.4g favourites: Spectrum Sky £8.10 [...]
Hello – Moonlight Shadow here with a run down on one of the forgotten hero’s of bonfire night, sparklers! Well, perhaps not a forgotten hero, but still, not a firework type that really gets a lot of attention. Sparklers have already been covered a bit, so I’ll try and take this from a different angle, to consider [...]
This was a fascinating piece which appeared recently in the newspaper covering Lewes in East Sussex. Southwark Council are proposing to re-brand their traditional November 5th Guy Fawkes firework party to something called ‘The Colour Thief … a celebration of the changing of the seasons’. In Lewes it is said that they take Guy Fawkes [...]
Diwali (aka Deepawali) is perhaps the best known of the Hindu festivals. The word ‘Diwalli’ means ‘rows of lighted lamps’. This year, the festival takes place on 26th October 2011. Diwali also marks the end of the financial year and the majority of Hindu’s submit their end of year accounts. In the Ramayana, Rama, Sita [...]
Hello, good morning! Moonlight Shadow here again to run through a few myths that seem to crop up every year. Feel free to respond with a comment if you want to share your opinion. And this is a mixed bunch, coming from a few angles. MYTH – “People should only be using fireworks on Bonfire [...]

Well it’s almost upon us, and we got to be thinking are we the only nation to celebrate in this way with bonfires and fireworks ? Short answer NO - It seems we are a bit behind when it comes to it. For example the midsummer solstice is celebrated on the 21st June in many countries [...]
Have I mentioned that Epic is largely staffed by children …… this is our latest offering ‘Thomas and the Firework Display’. I sat with bated breath waiting for the display to begin …Thomas had helped James who was miserable ……. as usual and then within the last 10 seconds of the film the awaited fireworks [...]
Hello everyone, moonlight shadow here again! Sorry for the delay in posts, I’ve been working, getting ready to go back to college, and just generally been busy doing nothing for the last few days. With the nights drawing in, we have more darkness which of course is the friend of the fireworks user, as long [...]
Whilst many of us, can’t wait for the spectacle which is Bonfire Night for the Fireworks, some just want to know about the food to offer. What is traditional and what has been introduced over the years to ensure we are all warm on the inside as well? We know that as Autumn is well [...]
The Catherine Wheel is a beautiful firework with a gruesome history. It is thought to have been named after the breaking wheel, an instrument of torture. The victim’s limbs were brutally smashed with large blunt objects. His (or her) still-living remains were subjected to… the wheel. This meant the mangled arms and legs were threaded [...]
Some blogs need a bit of fun, a bit of banter and a bit of a joke. Some do not. Lets just let the firework speak for itself in this feature – the massive and underrated “Awaken” barrage. A lot of barrages will claim to be the “biggest and the best”, a lot will claim [...]
Summer is officially over and the cold season coming ever closer, what better way to keep up the spirits other than FIREWORKS! With the 5th of November approaching, everybody here at Epic can feel the anticipation building, but if you cannot wait that long there is the British Musical Fireworks Championship 2011 to wet your [...]
Picture the scene… it’s a cold October day in 1972 and I’m 10. My brother, a few mates and I are pushing an old settee we had found abandoned on its castors up a huge hill to a pile of wood beside the fire station. When a fire tender pulls up, and the fireman offer [...]
From the safe storage and transportation of goods from China, to safe storage here in the UK and onto the stores all over the UK, all the staff here at Epic has safety in mind at all times. Following a recent visit from the Health and Safety Executive, we have been given the green light [...]
Hello everyone, today marks the first anniversary of the opening of our fantastic showrooms in South Yorkshire. It has been eventful and we are just going to take a look back over the last 12 months at some of the highlights: Opening took place to local acclaim with a visit from the Mayor who kindly [...]
Well, a little bird tells me it’s less than 8 weeks to go until the big Nov 5th Saturday, so in keeping with the numbers, how about a quick preview of no less than EIGHT 25 shooters that sell for around Eight quid? Without further ado… DR THRUST: One of 4 cakes that fires a series of [...]
Here at Epic Fireworks, like the rest of the country have all got the bug … how many of you have already won the £138 euro millions in your head and decided what you would spend it on? We have already compiled our ‘wish list’ for the required improvements: The staff: Meet ‘Ang’ – she [...]
I knew that would catch your attention…. Here at Epic, we had a call recently from a valued client at Men’s Health Magazine (October 2011 edition – page 114) asking for a rocket for an editorial piece. We never question the customer about what the item is to be used for but this time, it [...]
Here at Epic, those of you who have had the chance to visit us either here at our new showrooms in Barnsley or indeed visited us over the years in Batley, you will have met the most valued member of the team, Bruce the dog. Bruce is now 10 and is getting a few aches [...]
Hi folks – Moonlight Shadow here, with a different style of blog. No silly jokes, no childrens cartoons, just a bit of historical discussion. Firstly, I’ll look at the men behind the plot, based on my own reading and research. Further blogs will consider the events themselves, and finally why we choose to celebrate on [...]
It is amazing some of the things that you find out in your working day isn’t it? I recently turned 47 and until today had no idea that Guy (Guido) Fawkes was in fact a Yorkshire lad!! The bonfire of 40 years ago (when I was but a small child) is largely no more as [...]
Here is one of our loyal customers from Gravesend, Kent – Mr Pyro Geoff. Every year Geoff has a drive up to our head office and places his order for Bonfire night – for Geoff this is better than Christmas
I recently joined the team at Jimmy’s Fireworks (Epic) as part of the Sales Team and I am finding it to be largely about whether we have the loudest whistles and crackles the highest and most powerful rockets and the longest lasting barrages. I have yet to hear one of the male customers or staff [...]
Hello everyone. A stitch in time saves 9. Nine what? The correct answer is nine stiches, but how about 9 weeks? There are now just 9 weeks to go until Bonfire Night (or slightly less, depending on when you read this…) So on with the features. Here we have the Marvel Brand “Party Time” Selection [...]
