The Wandsworth ‘Battersea Park’ Fireworks display is one of the largest single event contracts in the UK. The Client (Wandsworth Council) were seeking an alternative supplier from 2014 onwards, when we took over the contract.
We were chosen from a strong field of contenders on the strength of:
The event management team at Wandsworth have a very ‘hands-on’ approach to every aspect of the event – and a strong involvement in the selection of music, which is a key aspect for them. Establishing a good working relationship with the client is, therefore, essential. We go to great lengths to accommodate our client’s requirements and translate their vision into reality, giving guidance where needed and attending several pre-event meetings throughout the year — prior to the display itself. We have been awarded the contract for 2018 bases on the strength of our performances in previous years.
The show itself is, in many ways, a traditional November ‘pyro-musical’ display – staged before a large audience of up to of 50,000 spectators. Fired from a single location, with a wide frontage, the display features a diverse range of pyrotechnic effects including shells, roman candles, multishot barrages and ground-based fireworks. Flame projector and SFX effects are also incorporated to add an extra dimension to the display.
