Fireworks Services Retired

A proud chapter… and a fond farewell.

 

Fireworks Services – Retired(September 2026)

 

After 26 wonderful years and more than 2,000 fireworks displays across councils and corporate events, Spectrum will be retiring from delivering public fireworks displays from September 2026.

We’re incredibly proud of the celebrations we’ve been part of, and what we delivered and achieved, including everything from small community celebrations to major city-scale events.

While we are no longer taking new fireworks bookings, Spectrum continues to operate as Spectrum Outdoor Entertainment, delivering our premium outdoor cinema experiences and other event services.

Need outdoor cinema instead? We’re very much still operating under Spectrum Outdoor Entertainment and continue to deliver premium outdoor cinema events.

What we’re doing now

Spectrum is still in business (just not fireworks displays).

Our focus is now on our core services, including outdoor cinema, plus selected event and technical support work.

If you’re looking for something that still creates that “big moment” feeling for your crowd – without the fireworks complexity – outdoor cinema can be a brilliant alternative.

Fireworks consultancy

Independent fireworks consultancy (planning, compliance, vendor selection)

While we’re no longer delivering fireworks displays ourselves, we’re available for consultancy for councils, corporates and event teams who want experienced eyes on the fireworks component of an event.

After 26 years in the industry, we speak both languages – pyrotechnician and paperwork – and can act as a practical intermediary between event organisers, internal stakeholders and fireworks operators. With the ever-growing “pound of paper” that modern events require, we can help you navigate safety and compliance requirements without losing sight of what actually keeps people safe on show night.

Because we’re no longer providing fireworks displays, our advice is independent – no conflict of interest, no competing agenda – just clear, experienced guidance.

Consultancy support can include:

  • Site feasibility and firing location strategy
  • Risk/compliance planning and documentation input
  • Vendor selection, tender support and scope review
  • Multi-site scheduling, logistics and stakeholder coordination
  • Operational oversight and “what can go wrong” planning

“The thoroughness in planning and preparation… your vigilance on safety issue’s ensured that the more than 80,000 precinct visitors enjoyed and applauded.”
