Scotland
Lochs, kelpies and the folk who live under the hills.
Old taleTam Lin, the ballad of a man held by the fairy queen and the woman who fights to win him back.

Once upon a purge
The old tales
The stories are the ones you know, with the lights turned down.
Hansel & Gretel
Follow the crumbs. Question the candy.
Little Red Riding Hood
Stay on the path. Mind the wolf.
Snow White
Check the apple before you bite.
Rumpelstiltskin
Every deal has a name. Guess it.

PGP is a pyro crew first. We fire our own shows at our own nights, and we don't take outside bookings. Pick an effect and a color, then tap the sky to fire it.

Pyro safety
How far back the crowd stands
At Realm of Esoterikk the crowd stands about 300 ft from the fireworks. NFPA 1123 sets the baseline at 70 ft for every inch of the largest shell, so 300 ft supports shells up to 4 inches. Pick a shell size to see its distance.
280
ft · 85 m for a 4 inch shell
This is the baseline. The fire marshal for the venue sets the final number and can require more.
Go / no-go before the first cue
- Wind steady and blowing away from the audience
- No lightning within range
- Audience line clear of the fallout zone
- Local fire danger and burn bans cleared
