Kimbolton Fireworks, who will be putting on the display, have created displays for big events such as Trafalgar 200, Cowes Regatta and Legoland.
Helen Selleck, events manager at Norwich City Council, said: “The Big Bang Fireworks will be exactly that – a really fantastic display to wow the crowds. But so the little ones aren’t left out, we’ve got a less noisy, but no less colourful, display earlier on, so there is something for everyone.”
