Kimbolton Fireworks is the only remaining manufacturer of display fireworks in the UK.[1] It sells fireworks to shops, operates a mail order firework business and offers a firework display service.

Based in Kimbolton, Cambridgeshire, the company was founded in 1964 by the Reverend Ron Lancaster, Kimbolton School chaplain and chemistry master.[2] His son, Mark Lancaster was a director before becoming Member of Parliament.
