    Diwali is in full swing and millions of Brits are celebrating with fireworks.<\/p>\n

    The five-day celebration, also known as Deepavali or the Indian festival of light, symbolises goodness triumphing over evil. It\u2019s typically marked by Hindus but has also been adopted by others.<\/p>\n

    Every year, the festivity tends to take place in November. It is based on the Hindu lunar calendar, Tithi, which looks at the moon\u2019s rotation around Earth.<\/p>\n

    Diwali falls on Sunday, November 12, in 2023. But celebrations will take place between Friday, November 10, and Tuesday, November 14.<\/p>\n

    So if you\u2019re planning on taking part with a fireworks display, listen up. Here are the rules you need to follow in the UK to avoid be lumbered with a hefty fine, which would really take the shine off the evening!<\/p>\n

    According to the gov.uk website, you must be over the age of 18 to buy "adult fireworks", which tend to be everything but party poppers.<\/p>\n

    There are some exceptions like Bonfire Night, where you can light fireworks until midnight. And on New Year\u2019s Eve, Diwali and Chinese New Year, displays are allowed until 1am.<\/p>\n

    When it comes to private use, you can only buy fireworks (including sparklers) from registered sellers on the following dates.<\/p>\n
