Watch four huge firework displays as pro competition heads to East Midlands

Settle in for a night with a bang as four of the world's best firework companies prepare to show their sparkle at an evening competition heading to the East Midlands.

The Firework Champions will takeover the grounds of Belvoir Castle on Saturday, August 10 - just a 40 minute drive from Nottingham.

Tickets are £19 for adults and £9 for children from fireworkchampions.co.uk.

Gates open at 4pm and last entry is 8.30pm. Over the course of the evening there will be four huge firework displays competing for the public vote.

Set in the grounds of the Regency castle, visitors can sit back on a picnic blanket or low slung chair and watch the dazzling displays as they are choreographed to music.

The audience are welcome to bring their own picnics or order baskets from The Fuel Tank at the Engine Yard which will be pre-filled with a selection of sandwiches, homemade cakes, savoury snacks and champagne. These must be booked in advance at belvoircastle.com.

Emma, Duchess of Rutland, says: “With summer in full swing, where better to enjoy your time than at Belvoir Castle? We have all sorts of exciting events to suit the whole family, from outdoor theatre and fireworks to an evening with a Queen Tribute Band.

"With the castle now open six days a week, there has never been a better time to visit.”
