Royal Greenwich Fireworks

First images are in from our spectacular displays last weekend in Greenwich to mark the Borough receiving its Royal Charter – we’ll be posting them here very shortly. As part of the celebrations Alchemy were commissioned to produce three spectacular displays, from multiple rooftops in Woolwich town centre on the Friday night, at the historic Tudor Barn in Eltham on Saturday night, and concluding with a spectacular firework display fired from a barge on the Thames in front of the [...]

Ramsgate Firefly Fiesta 2011

On the back of one of last year’s personal display highlights – the Monster Bass Festival – came a new end of summer event organised by Ramsgate Arts: the Firefly Fiesta. Alchemy Fireworks were commissioned to design a display to be choreographed to a new composition by local musician Mark Bandola.

Stockton Festival 2011

Bedford Proms 2011

We were delighted when Mark Harrison and The Full Effect invited Alchemy Fireworks to work with him for the return of the Bedford Proms to its spiritual home in Bedford Park. Not only is the event right on our doorstep in Bedfordshire, but it also gives us the opportunity to work with various other event industry friends with whom we have built relationships over the years, such as Jason Price of JAP Sound and Steve Bell and Wilf Goddard who [...]

UK Festival of Fireworks 2011

Let’s be honest, there are now quite a lot of firework festivals and competitions in the UK. Some of them have been around for decades, and some of them have popped up over the last few years. We’ve always turned down invitations in the past, but when the organisers of the UK Festival of Fireworks approached us again this year we decided that it would be an interesting opportunity to try out some new effects, sequences, music and ideas. Firework [...]
