Catherine Wheel

Buy Catherine Wheel fireworks online from Big Shotter Fireworks — one of the UK’s most trusted firework retailers. Our Catherine Wheel fireworks rotate rapidly in a circular motion, throwing out brilliant sparks and coloured flames in a mesmerising spiral display. Named after Saint Catherine of Alexandria, these classic spinning fireworks are a staple of British bonfire nights, garden displays, and family celebrations.

The Catherine Wheel is fixed to a post or fence using a nail. Once lit, the black powder propellant burns and generates thrust, causing the wheel to spin at speed. As it rotates, it produces a stunning ring of sparks and colour that typically lasts 30 to 60 seconds — simple to set up, spectacular to watch.

How to use Catherine Wheel fireworks

• Fix the Catherine Wheel securely to a firm wooden post or fence using a nail through the centre hole — ensure it can spin freely before lighting
• Stand well back (at least 8 metres) before igniting
• Never hold a Catherine Wheel firework in your hand or attach it to a surface that could catch fire
• Allow the wheel to cool completely before approaching after use

Are Catherine Wheel fireworks safe for home use?

Catherine Wheel fireworks are designed for outdoor use only. The rotating sparks they produce make them completely unsuitable for indoor use. Always fix the wheel firmly before lighting — a loose fitting is the most common cause of accidents with this type of firework. All Catherine Wheel fireworks in our range include clear safety instructions on the packaging. For full guidance, visit our Fireworks Safety page.
