Hercules (2026) by Brothers Pyrotechnics

The Original Strongman: 107 Shots, Several Firing Patterns, One Legend

This iconic SIB has been updated for 2026 with new effects and artwork, but the same fantastic firing pattern that made it one of the first multi-shaped SIBs available in the UK. Hercules by Brothers Pyrotechnics delivers straight, V and W fan effects from 107 shots on 25mm tubes, running for 60 seconds with 994g of powder, a 4/5 noise rating and a 25 metre safety distance.

The Labours Begin

It starts with alternating red and green tails rising to red and green strobe with gold crackling flowers, followed by a V firing section of red peony and gold crackle.

A W Firing Section

A W firing section ensues, with green glitter and silver crackle in the centre, flanked either side by gold king crowns with red strobe stars.

The Pre-Finale And The Finale

Multiple rapid z-firing volleys of silver crackle provide a pre-finale, before a fanned volley of larger 25mm tubes provides a sky filling brocade crown finale. A truly awesome single ignition firework.

Safety Information

Hercules is a Category F3 firework with a specified safety distance of 25 metres. Category F3 fireworks are intended for outdoor use in large open spaces only and require a greater degree of space than garden (F2) fireworks. Always read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions, use the firework only in a suitable large outdoor location, and keep spectators at or beyond the recommended safety distance. Cakes should always be secured so they can’t fall over, watch our safety videos on how to secure your cakes with bricks or wooden stakes.

Never hold a lit firework or return to a firework that has failed to ignite. Children and pets should remain safely away from the firing area.
