British Firework Championships held in August each year.
The British Firework Championships are held in Plymouth every year. The fireworks are set off from Mount Batten Pier and can be seen from afar. The best place to view the fireworks is from the Hoe - directly opposite the pier. The dates are released closer to the event and is usually held over two consecutive nights. Take a blanket as it gets cold in the evenings.
