Compound Firework Barrages

Put on the spectacle of a lifetime with our compound firework barrages. These incredible fireworks combine multiple cakes into one powerful unit, giving you a complete display from a single ignition. Expect minute after minute of dazzling colour, rhythm, and effects — all expertly sequenced to keep your audience captivated.

What Are Compound Fireworks?

Compound fireworks are an ingenious advancement in pyrotechnic design. Each compound links several cakes together with delayed fuses, creating a continuous chain of effects that fire automatically once lit. This single-ignition system delivers a full show without the need to relight — perfect for those who want a professional display with minimal effort.

Once ignited, each section fires in turn, painting the sky with waves of bursts, comets, and glittering trails. Whether you’re lighting one for Bonfire Night, New Year’s Eve or a wedding celebration, a compound cake guarantees big effects and a crowd-pleasing finale.

For the Biggest & Brightest Displays

With multiple tubes fused together, these fireworks produce truly breathtaking results. We stock some of the UK’s best compound cakes, including long-duration displays such as Code Red — a powerful one-minute show — and others with over 500 shots and runtimes exceeding three minutes. It’s the easiest way to deliver a large-scale, professional-style display from one ignition.

High Quality & Ultra Safe

Every compound barrage we sell is tried, tested and certified for safety. We only stock fireworks from trusted manufacturers such as Bright Star, Brothers Pyrotechnics, Evolution Fireworks, and Primed Pyrotechnics, alongside our own Galactic Fireworks range. Each firework meets full UKCA certification and is shipped securely via ADR-certified couriers.

Compound fireworks are inherently safer, too. With one ignition, you can step back and enjoy the entire sequence without needing to relight multiple fuses. Simple, stunning, and safe — perfect for families and professionals alike.

Choosing the Right Compound Firework

• Duration – choose from quick, high-intensity compounds or extended shows lasting up to 3½ minutes.
• Colour & Effects – from bold reds and blues to crackling strobes and multi-layered bursts.
• Category – F2 fireworks suit smaller gardens (8 m distance); F3 are for open spaces (25 m+).
• Classification – 1.3G for bigger bursts and louder reports; 1.4G for quieter garden use.
• Noise Level – choose low-noise compounds for quiet elegance or high-noise pieces for maximum impact.

Perfect for Any Occasion

Compound fireworks make it easy to create a spectacular show with minimal setup. They’re perfect for Bonfire Night, New Year’s Eve, weddings, festivals and Chinese New Year. One fuse, one incredible performance.

Safety First

Fireworks should always be handled responsibly. Only adults aged 18+ may light them, and alcohol should never be consumed before or during use. Follow the product instructions carefully and always check your surroundings for obstructions. Keep spectators at the correct safety distance and use a long lighter or portfire for ignition.
