The first recorded fireworks in England were at the wedding of King Henry VII in 1486 and they were used to accompany many festivities, scare off evil spirits and promote prosperity.

The largest chocolate firework was measuring 3m high and 1.5m in diameter and containing 60kg of Swiss Cailler chocolates. The firework was released in Zurich on New Year’s Eve 2002.

The biggest occasion for fireworks in the UK is Guy Fawkes Night in celebration of the failing of the Gunpowder Plot on 5 November 1605, an attempt to kill King James I at the Houses of Parliament.
