Small amounts for personal use generally don't require a special vehicle, but for larger quantities, vehicles with a Vehicle Special Order might be required.
Licences and Permits - Retailers must have a licence to sell fireworks. If you're planning a public display, you'll need to get a permit from your local authority.Fireworks are usually only permitted to be set off between 7 am and 11 pm. However, for Bonfire Night, the time extends until midnight.You cannot set off fireworks on public land, including streets and parks, without prior permission from the local council.
