FIREWORKS will be lighting up the Cheshire sky this weekend as Arley Hall hosts the third instalment of a pyrotechnic competition.

On Saturday evening, the Firework Champions catalogue of events comes to the stately home where three teams will battle it out with their unique displays.

Gates open for entry at 4pm, with guests welcome to bring their own picnics to enjoy with the the entertainment. Food and drink will also be available to buy.

The DroneSwarm light show begins at 7.30pm, before the main event runs from 9.30pm to 10pm.

Once the competition begins, votes via SMS will be tallied in order for either Phenomenal Fireworks, Bright Sparks Fireworks or Atom Fireworks to be crowned the ultimate winner.

The evening will conclude with a much longer closing fireworks display courtesy of eight-time winner Blitz Fireworks.

Mat Lawrence, managing director at MLE Pyrotechnics, said: “We can’t wait for the weekend to start and the fireworks to pop off so people can fully enjoy themselves.

"Not only do we have fireworks, but we also have an incredible drone show, live entertainment, a funfair and more.

Mat added: “Arley Hall has been such a brilliant location for Firework Champions in the past. I’m 100 per cent confident this year’s event will be even more spectacular than the last. It’s going to be a memorable and magical experience."
