Events In The Future
If you want to see some incredible public displays, here is where to find us!
It may still be a way to go, but we're already planning our 2022 events!
Last year we provided our largest number of displays over the three week bonfire season, with displays ranging from three day events, to large scale pyromusicals to smaller private events. You can see more details of these events on the Past Event Bonfire page.
This year we're aiming for an even bigger and better season! We are already confirmed to be back at most of our 2021 venues, as well as a number of new locations with the planning stages under way, but we always have openings for new events. So if it's a display of any size, please get in touch through our Contact Us page with your requirements as soon as possible to see what Optimum can do for you!
We will be updating this page closer to Bonfire season with specific details of all our public events, so please check back closer to the time to find out where you can see us!
Beat Herder Musical Festival, Sawley
For the past four years we have provided a large scale display for the Beat Herder Festival. This sold out three day event, held near Clitheroe in Lancashire, has a huge following with festival fans and has grown to a 12,000 strong crowd.
On the Saturday evening before the main act, we provide an 8 minute display featuring large caliber shells and a wide variety of effects. The display has received amazing reviews not only from the crowd, but also from various newspaper and magazine articles over the years, with The Mirror calling it "a jaw-dropping firework display that bathed the Sawley sky" and the Burnley Express stating it "looked like something from Apocalypse Now"!! The display has grown in size every year, with the large scale willow finale with salute cakes now an essential part of the Beat Herder weekend for many festival goers.

The videos over the years became our "most viewed" on social media and show the scale of both the festival and the fireworks! Some years we've even had to enlist the help of drone videographers to make sure the full display was captured!
Alongside the firework displays in both years, we also provided large flame units on all three nights of the festival. These were situated on two of the main stages, The Fortress and Maison D'Etre. The received rave reviews both on the night and after the event, making sure revellers were kept warm during the torrential rain! In 2018, we also provided confetti streamer shots for the headliners on the main stage.
After the success of the past four years, we are happy to say we are returning for Beat Herder 2022! With fireworks, flames, confetti and lots of new surprises, the whole crew are looking forward to Herding Some Beats once again!
