It is against the law to set off fireworks after 11pm except on a few dates during the year such as Nov 5th, new year etc and the police can prosecute as per the 2004 changes to the law -
"This curfew applies to all places, including gardens and private land.
These requirements arise from the Firework Regulations 2004 and are enforced by the Police.

There is a penalty of up to £5000 or 6 months in prison. On the spot fines can also be issued for breach of the regulations."

It's just a shame these new rules don't seem to be enforced.
