History

 

WHO ARE WE?

Keith Emmett and Sons is based in Milton Keynes and is completely family run. We have over 150 years of experience in the funfair and leisure industry and are proud to present Milton Keynes largest free Fireworks display to the public.

Keith Emmett and Sons was started by Keith Emmett Snr over 40 years ago.  Since then we have been involved in many different events all over the country but take the most pride in our local events in Milton Keynes. 

The first Milton Keynes Funfair and Fireworks Spectacular was in 1978 and was attended by over 10,000 citizens at what is now the Food Centre in Central Milton Keynes. The first Funfair and Fireworks Spectacular was organised by Keith Emmett Snr and local stunt star Tod Cody. The event has shifted to many sites over the years such as the Central Police Station, Xscape and along Midsummer Boulevard. It’s current long-term venue is Campbell Park.

Since the passing of Keith Emmett Snr in 2014, his family have continued the event and plans to do so for the foreseeable future.
