There’s lots of fun to be had when there’s fireworks to be watched and marshmallows to be toasted, but for some it can be a stressful experience. Here are our tips to enjoying the night.

  1. 1. Do some prep beforehand, make sure that everyone knows what to expect as there will be loud noises
  2. 2. If you’re watching the display at a public event, make sure you’re wrapped up warm and have plenty of snacks and hot drinks to hand
  3. 3. Think about watching from a distance where there’s a bit more room and the fireworks won’t be as noisy
  4. 4. Alternatively, hold your own fireworks display in your garden! That way, you can enjoy all the home comforts, and pop inside to watch them if it’s too cold or noisy outside
  5. 5. You could also grab a pair of noise-reducing headphones or ear defenders to take with you if the loud bangs will be a bit too much
  6. 6. If live fireworks aren’t your thing, why not watch them virtually? There’s lots of displays that you can watch on the TV or online!
