Frequently Asked Questions
FireworkAlerts is a free notification service that lets you know when firework displays are scheduled near your chosen locations. Register, set your alert locations, and receive email notifications ahead of time.
FireworkAlerts is completely free for users receiving alerts. We also do not charge display organisers for basic event registration.
Create a free account, then add one or more alert locations — such as your home, a relative's house, or a place you regularly visit. Choose the radius around each location where you'd like to be alerted.
You can set alerts for any UK postcode. You may add multiple locations, each with its own alert radius. This is useful if you care for pets or family at different addresses.
We send alerts as soon as a display is registered in your area. Many organisers register weeks in advance, giving you ample time to prepare.
Yes. Each alert location can be paused independently from your dashboard. You can resume alerts at any time.
Create an organiser account and register your displays through our dashboard. Your event details help local residents prepare, and you're contributing to safer, more considerate firework use.
Yes. We only store the information necessary to provide the service. Your exact address is never shared with display organisers or third parties. Read our Privacy Policy for full details.
If an organiser updates their display as cancelled, we will send a cancellation notification to everyone who received the original alert.
