A huge firework competition is behind held at a Yorkshire country house this weekend.

Newby Hall in Ripon will host the Firework Champions event on August 27. The fifth installment of this year's competition will see a new 'Firework Champion' crowned.

Since being set up in 2002, Firework Champion has held huge events where pyrotechnics can show off their display skills, much to the delight of locals. On top of the incredible displays set to light up the Yorkshire sky this weekend, there will also be a drone light show.

The competition sees three teams - Dynamite Fireworks, Pyrotex Fireworx, and Phoenix Fireworks - compete to have the best fireworks display which is decided by onlookers who can vote via text.
