The bright side to all this cold weather is that firework night is just around the corner!

Planning a grand firework display of your own this year? Here's the best value deals on the market as well as some important info about staying safe on bonfire night!

There's nothing quite like wrapping up warm and heading down to a firework display with friends and family armed with sparklers but for those lucky folk with big gardens, putting on your own firework display is just as fun but can cost a pretty penny.

Don't forget there are a few laws around firework displays, and you must only set off fireworks between 11pm and 7am, except for Bonfire Night when the cut off is midnight.

However, on New Year's Eve, Diwali and Chinese New Year the final cut off is 1am.

So here are the best value fireworks in the supermarkets at the moment...

What different types of fireworks are available to buy?

Mine

This is a dramatic and spectacular but short lived firework. Also known as 'pot á feu', the mine shoots coloured stars into the sky with flashes and bangs. Mines are generally the loudest of all fireworks, with noise levels sometimes reaching as high as 120 decibels.

Cake

Cakes are a group of fireworks that can be set off one immediately after the other for incredible effect and a customised display in one small package. They generally consist of Rockets, Roman Candles or a mix of both.

Barrage

Barrage fireworks are pre-ready Cakes that contain a mixture of firework types to create their own unique effect. People running their own displays can buy several Barrages and simply let them off one at a time for a pre-prepared fireworks extravaganza.

Rocket

The most common and exciting firework the Rocket can climb to an incredible height. Depending on the type of rocket used, some can reach 30 - 60 metres before exploding with a loud bang. Roman CandleRoman Candles can spit out stars in just a single colour or a variety of colours. A number of noise effects are available for these fireworks, including hummers and crackles.

Fountain

Fountains are a brilliant great option if you want a beautiful visual but without the loud and often surprising sound effects, such as bangs and whistles. Fountains once lit release a shower of sparks.

Catherine Wheel

Catherine Wheels get their name from St. Catherine who, according to legend, was to be martyred upon a spinning wheel. The noise effects associated with Catherine Wheels include crackles and whistles, which can be heard as the coil spins.
