Celtic Fireworks The Beast — F3 Compound | 256 Shots | 150 Seconds | 3123g NEC | CE Certified

The Legend Returns — Bigger, Bolder and More Powerful Than Ever

Some fireworks are products. The Beast is a legend. When Celtic Fireworks first introduced the original Beast from the East to the UK market back in 2019, it became an instant phenomenon — a single ignition compound firework that delivered a professional quality display from one fuse. Audiences were stunned. Neighbours came out to watch. It earned its name.

But times change. China stopped producing the plastic whistle tubes that gave the original Beast from the East its distinctive character, and Celtic Fireworks faced a choice — retire the legend or build something better. They chose better. The result is The Beast — the 2025 upgrade — with bigger tube sizes for wider, more powerful bursts, bolder colours and a finale that has to be seen to be believed. The Beast from the East was iconic. The Beast is something else entirely.

Four Sections — 150 Seconds of Pure Pyrotechnic Theatre

The Beast is structured across four distinct sections, each building on the last, each delivering entirely different effects — creating a 150 second display that never stands still, never repeats itself and never lets the audience look away.

Section One — Strobes, Stars and Mine Lifts

The Beast opens with immediate impact. Red to white strobe effects light up the sky before transitioning into white straw with popping red stars — a cracking, energetic opening that grabs attention from the very first shot. The section builds through green strobe effects before a stunning strobe mine lift launches skyward, turning from green to white strobe with plum stars — a breathtaking sequence that sets the tone for everything that follows.

Section Two — Comets, Blue Stars and Strobes

The display shifts into its second section with a mesmerising sequence of green moving comets sweeping across the sky before driving into blue stars to red and white strobe. The combination of movement and colour creates a dynamic, constantly evolving sky show that keeps every eye locked upward. The section closes back into white to red strobe with plum stars — rich, layered and visually stunning.

Section Three — Flying Comets, Mine Lifts and Serpents

Section three is where The Beast truly earns its name. Green strobe with flying comets fills the sky before a dramatic green red strobe mine lift powers upward into red strobe. Then comes the moment that audiences remember — the moving serpents. These vicious, writhing effects look like snakes swimming through the night sky, darting and twisting in every direction with an energy and unpredictability that is unlike anything else in the display. Once you have seen moving serpents you never forget them.

Section Four — The Finale

Everything that has come before has been building to this. The final section of The Beast is an experience. Massive, powerful brocade bursts pound one after the other across the sky — huge, sweeping golden explosions layered with red straw that fill every inch of the night sky above you. Then, just as the audience thinks it cannot get any bigger, in comes the titanium chrysanthemum crackle — and the mine lift. Watch as the dragon's breath mine lift powers skyward like a ball of fire before erupting into a beautiful titanium chrysanthemum finale that brings The Beast to a close in the most spectacular fashion imaginable. The neighbours will not just be talking — they will be applauding.

The 2025 Upgrade — Why It Matters

The original Beast from the East used plastic whistle tubes that gave it a distinctive sound and character. When China stopped producing those tubes Celtic Fireworks took the opportunity to completely redesign the product from the ground up — upgrading to larger 25mm tube sizes for bigger, wider bursts with greater sky coverage, enhancing the effects and creating a finale that surpasses anything the original could deliver. The 2025 Beast is not a replacement — it is an evolution. Every section is bigger, every effect is bolder and the finale is in a different league entirely.

Built for Reliability

With 3123g NEC and a total product weight of 24.9kg, The Beast is a serious piece of pyrotechnic engineering. It is dual fused with a start fuse and reserve fuse, giving you complete reliability and a backup ignition should you need it. The straight firing pattern keeps the display structured and vertical, ensuring every effect reaches its full height before breaking. A 25 metre safety distance is required — give The Beast the space it deserves and it will reward you with a display that no individual barrage can match.

Build the Ultimate Display Around The Beast

The Beast works brilliantly as the centrepiece and headline finale of any serious garden display. Want to really get the neighbours talking? Add the Elegant Night by Funke Fireworks as a stunning mid-display set piece before bringing in The Beast as your showstopping finale — a combination that will take your display to a completely different level.
