Event Details - Saturday 4th September 2010
Now in its 2nd year, right here at Eastnor Castle - 4 great firework displays! 3 of the UK's best firework companies compete against each other with a 10 minute firework display choreographed to music followed by a finale display from organisers MLE Pyrotechnics. The types of fireworks being used by the companies are quite different to the material available to the general public, each company can use category 4 fireworks - those that are for professional use only. The event is the only one of its type in the UK where the audience have the capability to vote for the team they liked the most using their mobile phone - purely for fun. Texts will be charged at normal rates and a limit of 1 vote per number is in place. Each voting number receives a text back with the results.

Gates open - 5:00pm Khoom Fay Lantern display - 9:00pm Computer fired demo - 9:15pm Team 1 - 9:30pm Team 2 - 9:45pm Team 3 - 10:00pm SMS voting opens - 10:15pm We'll keep you entertained with some more lanterns during the voting period SMS voting closes - 10:30pm MLE Pyrotechnics Large Scale Display - 10:30pm Results - shortly after 10:40pm
