Locals looking forward to celebrating Bonfire Night will have more options this year, as a number of supermarkets and stores in the county selling low-noise fireworks.

The increasing popularity of low-noise, or quiet, fireworks comes as several supermarket chains have chosen to stop selling fireworks all together.

Supermarkets have cited the anxieties the loud noises cause to pets, wildlife and elderly people as the reason for no longer selling them.

The low-noise versions are seen as friendly alternative to the loud bangs of traditional fireworks, as they still offer fun visuals and bright colours which spectators can enjoy.

These are the stores where you can buy low noise fireworks from in Oxfordshire.
