Video shows magical moments we can expect to see at Nottingham's 'extraordinary' drone light show
The skies above Trent Bridge will be lit up in the most spectacular way
An extraordinary light show is heading to Nottingham in a couple of weeks.
The event which promises to "take audiences on a mesmerising journey through time and space", will take place at Trent Bridge on Friday 19th April. A preview of the show, shared by event organisers Celestial, offers a sneak peek ahead of the magical moments we can expect to see from turtles to dinosaurs, people and more.
Audiences will be immersed in an epic-scale event using hundreds of drones in the night sky, fusing cutting-edge technology and creativity to spark the imagination and stir the soul.
The narrated story starts with the Big Bang, the explosive birth of the universe, before journeying into the remarkable origins of conscious life on Earth.
Organisers say: "Audiences can expect epic storytelling with themes of transformation, growth, and the perpetual dance of change. From single-cell organisms, awe-inspiring dinosaurs and the dawning of modern humans. Evolution is a captivating homage to the past, celebration of the present, and glimpse into the horizons of the future." Following a successful pilot in Bristol and the West Midlands in December 2023, with sell-out shows, Evolution is set to tour the UK, with Nottingham being announced as the second city on the tour.
The event itself is suitable for both families and individuals of all ages to enjoy. Those in attendance will witness a live demonstration of the state-of-the-art drone technology before experiencing the main drone performance.
