"It is an offence to let fireworks off between 11pm and 7am, except on
Bonfire Night (midnight), Diwali, New Year, and Chinese New Year (1am)."

Strange that only one extra hour is allowed for Bonfire Night (the
British traditional night for fireworks) but two extra hours are
allowed for 2 foreign* celebrations and New Year's celebrations: where
fireworks have only become popular relatively recently.
