2nd year to this drone show- absolutely phenomenal 👏
We were so delighted with this show. 2023's show was excellent but a little too short and not very Christmassy. We decided to try again as it was A Christmas Carol. Such a good move. Perfect evening, great location. Well done.
Loved it - I thought it very clever, the programming of the drones. Visually attractive but could have gone on longer. |We had hospitality. My smoked fish & chips was excellent & included drinks, excellent!
I'd go to one again if there is one next year. It would be fun if the drones occasionally zoomed around faster!!
Thoroughly recommend
My husband and I had a fabulous time … we knew what to expect but were blown away by how it all came together. The weather was definitely on our side too with a crisp clear night.
2nd year to this drone show- absolutely phenomenal 👏
Our second Christmas Drone show with Celestial at the Gloucester Cricket Ground and yet again it didn't disappoint. A really great way to tell a timeless story and the drone set-ups were flawless. We brought friends this year and they loved it too. The kids were talking about it all through Christmas.
Already hoping that we will be able to see another show in 2025!
The drone show itself was really good, quite well done with music and lights to match. Food and drink seemed very pricey.
A VERY ENJOYABLE EVENT
I went to watch the Evolution show last year which i thought was very good but the Christmas carol story was even better, the story was told amazingly and the images were unbelievably good, especially when you remember it’s all done with individual drones! I would highly recommend this event and am looking forward to what story next year brings!
It was my first drone show I had see. It was amazing, loved it👍🏻👍🏻💜
Very good show. Felt perhaps the story was a little complex to be told by drones, but still enjoyable. It was very seasonal though. Our group thoroughly enjoyed it. Quite magical the way the drones work. Fascinating.
We also went to last year's and enjoyed that too.
Loved it, would definitely go see another drone show
Very good and kept us all interested for the next set
First drone show - very impressive
Absolutely amazing, if you ever want to treat yourself, family or friends to a great show I would recommend this light show
Absolutely brilliant for both adults and children
I personally didn’t enjoy this as much as last year. The children also weren’t able to make out some of the imagery with the drones
Maybe a Disney story for next year?
A lovely unique experience. Very enjoyable. Thank-you
Amazing show, great story with lights and narrator as well as the incredible drones. So so clever, never seen anything like it before.
The story was very well told, the sound quality was very clear and we were amazed to see some of the images that the drones created.
Family loved it, really special
Very helpful staff at Neville Road (officially closed) entrance and inside the stadium - who recommended the best area to suit for an excellent view.
We all really enjoyed the evening. Felt the show was very well done. Very creative and wonderful to watch. Easy to get to venue, walkable from my home. Would come again for another Christmas show
It was lovely - information about parking nearby would have been helpful. There were pauses which seemed long (but maybe necessary for the technology?). Would definitely recommend. Venue staff were really polite and friendly and it was a lovely, unusual treat just before Christmas.
Great fun for the family, really nice venue with very good facilities at a great location in the middle of Bristol. Some of the audience were talking throughout which distracted from the display a little bit otherwise a great experience.
We, a family of four, were impressed with the show. We liked the story (a classic) and thought it was well delivered by the drones and narration by Matt Lucas. How do they operate so many drones at once to create the images? Magic.
Really great time! I would love to see another drone show but created around music instead of spoken story. Will definitely keep an eye out for next year’s Christmas events.
We thought it was great entertainment.The communication was excellent ! Very regular emails and texts with updates regarding the moving of dates due to the weather conditions. We couldn't fault the communication.
Amazing, loved it!
Brilliant experience
Brilliant evening
Absolutely amazing we would love to see this every year thank you
Fantastic, unique experience!! We've loved it every time!! Great for children and adults. Thank you 😊
Certainly exceeded my expectations. We thoroughly enjoyed the evening although the drinks and snacks were expensive.
We didn't know really what to expect when we booked, but what a fantastic experience it was! So clever with all the drone animations, and the narration was perfect. Our party of 4 adults all left with a big smile, would absolutely recommend it, and will definitely go again!
The drone show gets better with every year it continues
Very beautiful show.
Very good event, something different and brilliantly creative. Really recommend Yuup - we had 3 people who couldn’t make the rearranged date (weather issues forced a rearrangement). Had a near instant response and no quibble on a refund for 3 of our tickets. Really hope it was a success for the company as it’s a shame they had to use contingency dates. Thoroughly recommend.
I would have enjoyed a longer performance. But perhaps this was a better length for children
Good fun experience
Apart from a delay due to bad weather, the show was creative, fun, and a good length.
Only slight issue is parking for the venue, otherwise brilliant
I love every bit of it. It was our first time to see it, and it didn't fail. Thank you so much ☺️
Thoroughly enjoying, made better by it being dry weather.
The actual show was fantastic but the build up to it was to long . The show could have been longer .
The county ground needed better clearer seating signage and more activities for children .
Apart from this was a great show well worth going to .
Another terrific light show
We all thoroughly enjoyed the show. It had to be postponed due to the weather but was well worth the wait.
Loved every minute of it
Was really fun despite the first cancellation due to the weather.
I loved it! It was longer than last year and I preferred the theme of a story to the factual retelling of last year. The drones were amazing, buzzing around like bees, constantly transforming as they moved. Seating was good with excellent views for everyone. There was plenty of food, hot drinks & entertainment to extend the family experience. Great evening!
Very creative would definitely book again
This was amazing. We enjoyed it from the beginning and were sad when it ended. It is utterly clever and we felt privileged to be able to see something so beautifully rendered.
Absolutely brilliant. Great sound system. Matt lucas was perfect as the narrator . Food was pricey, but that didn't stop us having a very good night.
Very good
Different
It was incredible, so beautiful and unique, I’d love to watch another drone show again soon.
Very clever and atmospheric
It was fantastic very enjoyable
Excellent evening. Superb shoe.
Great family xmas event
5 stars
Had an absolutely fantastic time. Such a creative and unique experience enjoyed by myself and my mother. Thankyou
Enjoyable!
This was a fantastic family experience with teens. Really enjoyed the show.
Second experience of the drones and it didn't disappoint.
Thoroughly enjoyable. We didn't really know what to expect but it was well planned, easy to see and a lovely story. The food outlets were great, good choices and very hot. Just what we needed on a very chilly evening.
The whole experience was wonderful but the venue posed a huge problem with traffic queuing and parking . We got a taxi but this increased the cost of the evening and weven the taxi driver was panicking trying to manoeuvre through the narrow streets and traffic. Once inside the ground the whole event was wonderful.
Amazing show so much better than I could have imagined. All staff both Yuup and GCCC were extremely helpful and friendly. The buffet was excellent too. All in all, it was a great night out.
Excellent
Excellent show, absolutely loved it!!!
Excellent experience
Very different and excellent to watch
Great experience.. just make sure you wrap up warm and take some wet weather clothes if it wet
Brilliant experience! Prices could be a bit lower considering the length of the show and money made from the surrounding such as food drink fun fair games and rides
Good
A 10/10 experience! The food village and Christmas music meant that we had lots to enjoy ahead of the performance. The performance itself was magical and so impressive, and staff were all really friendly and helpful. A great Christmas outing!
Great show
Really enjoyed it
Amazing
Excellent hospitality and organisation and a fantastic show! Thank you
The story line was well handled and the whole experience felt very christmassy
Drones were Amazing. Story narration felt a little slow and dated
We thought it was truly spectacular! We all plan to come again as a regular part of our Christmas build up moving forward.
Possibly one thing to improve it could it run a little earlier?
However, it was an absolute pleasure to attend with young & older members of the family, all of whom had a wonderful time! It was an amazing experience, thank you!
The show was amazing!!
We really enjoyed our evening. Thankfully the weather held out! It's just such an amazing feat of technology. Lovely to see the story come to life with lights
The show was incredible, really enjoyed it. Was very clever about what they've managed to do with the drones, the images that were being created were incredible. Only slight weird bit was that because the drones were split across three groups, there was an awkward couple of minutes where the drones had to land and then the new batch launched. If they'd been more spread out across the field perhaps they could have landed and launched at the same time.
A good story, well told and some very clever work from the drones - spectacular visuals. Kids really enjoyed it!
Enjoyable for all ages, good location and something different from the normal Christmas light displays we have been to.
The whole light show was amazing the only thing that let it down was the pizza we had
We enjoyed the experience
Nice evening, but a more kid friendly story would help, few fractious kids by the end!
Venue ideal and safe albeit very cold
Was so good 😊
Really enjoyed the show.
Great
Second year we've been to the drone show and loved it again! Great to have a Christmas theme this year and the narration and additional lights were great. All staff there were super friendly and were very helpful when I had to report a lost debit card. Queues were very well managed and easy to get food etc inside. Nice selection of vendors too. We really enjoyed our evening with you, thank you, and Happy Christmas! 😊
Last year it was spectacular, i felt a little let down this year. Could not make out some of the things. Not sure i would come again.
Very clever. Something different. Parking difficult. Story of Christmas deviated a little bit from original story. Very well organised.
Didn't know what to expect but thoroughly enjoyed it it was different definitely go again. Parking is absolutely a nightmare but it what is it.
We were amazed by the drone light show. It was fantastic. The story telling of a Christmas carol by Matt Lucus was brilliant. Well worth the money
This was magical and such a great christmassey thing to do. We were all blown away. 45 minutes flew by so quickly, we didn't want it to end. We took 11 and 14 year old boya and they also loved it
Better pre show entertainment would have made it amazing
Amazing, creative show..this is the second Yuup drone show I've seen and can't wait to see another one. Very inventive and visually amazing
Good fun and the drones were awesome but the delays between the start of the show and each segment were long and sometimes awkward. I think if they had the drones with Christmas songs it would have worked better. Lovely venue and staff.
Very entertaining well put together I really enjoyed it, only problem was the seating some people were told to seat anywhere while others were still looking for theirs seats only to find people already sitting in them I witnessed a few arguments regarding this. Other than that it was a very magical experience
First drone show I've seen. It was excellently narrated. Nice to have some food trucks available. It could have been a bit longer. The narration with the show was great. Just the price was a bit high
It was fantastic and everyone really enjoyed it. The atmosphere was great. It’s very smart of the drone and the storytelling aspect.
Absolutely mesmerising-the performance was 45minutes which was about right as it was freezing outside! Lovely retelling of A Christmas Carol - the drones were so clever and created 3D models of Scrooge, the ghosts, a Xmas tree, Bah Hum Bug ❤️ Really enjoyed the show
Thought the drone show was brilliant and just the right length.
Could have been more food choices and things to do for adults at the venue
Thoroughly enjoyed it.
First ever drone show , the experience for me and my partner was lovely , the music , narration and images created by the drones, was amazing.
Brilliant but very cold
It was absolutely brilliant, a lovely story being told with the drones working by the side, it was so good to see and felt very Christmassy. We were very lucky with the weather it was nice and dry, although it had rained earlier and the seats were wet. There was food stands and rides and games to play, I would definitely recommend it
A beautiful sensory experience. But you definitely dont need to arrive at the point of gates opening as its too long to wait until the show.
Lovely experience
Fantastic show and great idea for Christmas family fun
Well rounded experience with excellent organisation. Technically very impressive with narrative and music well integrated.
Nice
Amazing
Really cool! Enjoyable for all ages!
The drones were incredible. Only thing that lost a star was that start time of the show was do late. There was not enough Pre-show to keep everyone entertained and meant quite a lot of hanging about for children then a late finish. 7;45 start would have been better.
Brilliant.
Well organised.
Good fun.
Got the whole family in the festive mood.
Loved seeing the drones creating the shapes of the characters and objects, the amount of work that has gone into it was mind blowing. The show was the right amount of time (45 minutes) and it was great to see innovative modern technology retelling a classic and much loved story.
Fantastic show so creative keeping the youngest at 9 to the eldest at 81 entertained! Amazing 😍
We had a lovely afternoon. Please thank those who did all the programming of the drones. Amazing.
It was a different experience, thought it could have been a bit more Christmasy but have recommended it x
Great, very accessible for wheelchair users
Thoroughly enjoyed it, a nice little evening out with the family, just amazed how it's done and all put together (the drones that is)
A very well choreographed performance. The acoustics were excellent booming out the cleverly constructed narration. The drones beautifully illustrated the story of a Christmas Carol, a magical experience for all.
Wow would of watched it again absolutely fantastic
Excellent show spoiled a bit by sky prices for food drink and rides
Well presented, enjoyable show.
Great show , well choreographed and narrated
Great Wonderful Christmas experience with a Magical telling display of A Christmas Carol.
Good
You should proper voice actors to do the voices and have a better music DJ who plays Xmas music, rather than fairly inappropriate tunes for such an event
An unusual and great experience, the drones are amazing!
Such a fun experience! Definitely recommend
Really enjoyed watching the show.
Had a great time. We were lucky the weather was good. Very clever how they do the drones. The story was brilliant as well. Would recommend to others.
Enjoyed the evening.
Great show that we all really enjoyed.
Fantastic experience would highly recommend!
We went last year and enjoyed the experience. This year was even better. I loved the Christmas theme. We really enjoyed the whole experience. Thank you We loved it.
Awesome show! The future instead of fireworks is 100% displays like this.
We enjoyed the event and would go again.
Amazing unique experience with my family!
Magical show, done so well. Great for all ages.
We absolutely loved it! Brilliant show, really creative, really welcoming staff and a lot of fun. It felt very Christmassy!
As our first experience we thoroughly enjoyed the show
The technology was awesome and the story telling was perfectly in time with the sequencing. The time went too quickly, I could have watched for much longer
We thought it was brilliant very well organised and a great show
Amazing! Really clever and very well done.
Loved it! Amazing creativity and interpretation using the drones.
Excellent show! Thank you!!
There was a lot to like about the drone version of A Christmas Carol. There were some really great moments but it was let down by some poor decisions in the storytelling. Most problematic was the needlessly changing the end of the story. This is not a story that needs to be changed. I'd recommend it though. Just relax into it and let the imperfections go and it's worth it.
It was an enjoyable experience. Great for families
Excellent. Even the rain held off!
I wasn’t sure what to expect but everything was really well organised and the event was completely different to anything else we’d done. Probably more suited to older children and adults than young children but as two adults we really enjoyed it.
We came last year and this was A MAZ ING
it was a very pleasant experience
Loved the story, made the experience so much better than the year before
Very professional experience with exceptional creativity, not as busy as previous year but for us it is the perfect start to the festive period, well done all involved and look forward to next years show
Everyone in my party thoroughly enjoyed the drone experience
Superb evening . Very clever concept . The drones were amazing and we were lucky with weather .
Brilliant, much better than I expected. Will definitely go again
We had a great time. Was a lot better this time around, lasted 45mins. A great story and it was dictated very well. Very creative and we all enjoyed it…..
Very professional
We had a really enjoyable evening & thought the show was brilliant, we would definitely visit again if it’s on next year.
So clever how it all works was something a bit different. Thoroughly enjoyed it
Frigging amazing show, I can't wait for next year's.
Thank you was great 👍 well drone/ done 😀
Very entertaining and a modern way to tell a traditional story. Enjoyed it very much
Excellent night
Would recommend to see. Brilliant.
It was a cold night, but that faded away when the show started. Never seen a drone show before, I would recommend it. The narration also brought it to life
Drone light show was fun and very well produced. Everyone was captivated. Surrounding funfair lacked lustre and was far too expensive.
While I appreciate the technology was amazing The story was a bit tricky for the children to follow I it was also at least 20 mins loo long maybe better with music and audience participation
I thought it was absolutely brilliant. The way the characters were brought to life was incredible. Only minor criticisms, it was too short, I could have watched it for double the time! The seats weren’t the most comfortable, but like I said, minor criticism. It was amazing, just hope more is done
Me and the wife loved it
An innovative idea, well-executed. We thoroughly enjoyed it.
A different experience and full of wow moment's..
Great show would recommend.
Overall a lovely evening m, the drones we're amazing. Have only given 4 stars as we had no table to eat food at as all taken by family groups & the food not really worth the additional
Enjoyed ourselves but refreshment prices were ridiculous!!
Great show, would just be made better if the venue had more parking
As it had rained shame the seats were so wet how hard would it have been for people just to wipe them down but a lovely performance
Really enjoyed the show. The ‘Christmas Village’ wasn’t quite what the description led us to expect.
Beautifully done , very creative and obviously a classic Christmas tale but not exciting enough for 6,7 and 8 year olds ( or even grannies ) . A more musically driven show would ensure a better experience. Would like to leave feeling happy, Christmassy and uplifted.
Fab!
TBD
We had a wonderful time and it was so mesmerising how the drones changed the shape so smoothly. Would have loved for it to go on longer, just because it was so good i didnt want it to end, but what we saw was perfect thank you
Excellent our group ranged in age fron 7 to 69 and we all thought it was amazing
Bought tickets for my mums birthday, was the first time she'd ever been to anything like that. She absolutely loved it. Thanks
It was really well done and lots of fun. Thank you!
Great show with the drones showing images of the Christmas Carol story. If there has been rain earlier you need to take something to dry your seats as noone else does.
An excellent show - exceeded my expectations. The drones were amazing.
We were very impressed with the show itself. The drone show was creative and interesting. The music/narration was at an appropriate level.
Only downsides were to do with the venue...no parking on site and all the seats were wet. Otherwise, it was a nice Christmas activity and something quite different to do as a family.
Excellent
My friend & I really enjoyed the drone show, the clever way they were used to illustrate the story & how effectively they created the visual picture.
Amazing night for my family getting us in the Christmas spirt
Really enjoyed it
Outstanding show, great venue, thanks to the remarkable people who organised and set it all up.
Great experience, only downside was lack of parking in the area.
Clever to watch, good for kids, limited drinks selection at Gloucester CC, expensive for 45 mins
2 adults 2 kids - was an amazing show and beautifully presented, safe for the kids to run around and plenty of food and entertainment for the kids!
Amazing festive evening with a difference.
First time watching it was fantastic cannot wait for the next show.
An amazing night with our grandchildren. Loved the food stalls. Pizza van was the best pizza ever, apparently they ssid. Amazing delicious food @ the curry van & thai van . What a treat. All very well organised & not too packed with people. So very very enjoyable. Everything was well managed. The 45minute show was about right. Not too long, or too short.A very entertaining night for all the family, of all ages. Would definately recommend & hopefully will go next year after this 1st experience.
Very enjoyable experience
We went as a family of 10, so we bought tickets as a treat for Christmas for our 3 children, their partners and 2 grandchildren. It was a fabulous show and was a good kickstart for Christmas. Thoroughly recommend going!
We had a magical time, it was such a beautiful experience, something we've never seen before. My autistic 5yr old was nervous about the amount of people, but enjoyed how relaxing the performance was, so much so that he fell asleep about 10 minutes before the end!
This is the first time in such a long time that he's been so focused on something visual that is has lulled him to sleep.
I loved the music, the laser lights, the atmosphere, everything. It was the perfect start to our Christmas!
We loved this special experience. The only thing which was a little bit of an anti climax was the ‘Christmas village’ it wasn’t much of a Christmas village, just a few funfair rides like tea cups. I wouldn’t suggest getting their as early as advised for this Christmas experience but the show was great and felt very special to share with family before Christmas.
Fantastic very original
A mesmerising spectacle of lights, so clever and utterly captivating.
Dazzling drone display that was well worth braving the cold for.
I was not disappointed. This was excellent. The Christmas Carol theme was appropriate. I thought that whilst the simple 3d shapes like the cracker, the bell and the clock worked well representation of human figures was pushing the technology too far. The soundscape was first class as was the supplementary lighting.
Absolutely amazing really well organised and will definitely be going again
Great show and perfect to get you into the xmas mood
It was an amazing experience!
It was a birthday present for my husband and we really enjoyed it
A Christmas Carol by drone was utterly amazing. Loved he story telling and drama. The lighting effects and drone technology simply spell binding. Whole-heartedly recommend the experience.
This colourful drone show illustrated a spoken text taken from Charles Dickens' book 'A Christmas Carol'. It was remarkable the way the drones formed images of Mr. Scrooge, a window frame, a Christmas present and much else. While the spirits of Christmas Past and Christmas Present came across clearly, that of Christmas Future did not, rather we were left following the story of the change in character of Scrooge. But overall the show was very enjoyable.
Very clever and entertaining
Amazing!!!
Simply excellent
Overall a great experience
A really unique experience and great way to get into the festive spirit!
A very novel experience.
Thoroughly enjoyable show
A very enjoyable evening
An absolutely amazing evening! The drone show was absolutely spectacular and so creative! Absolutely amazing!!!
Great festive evening
Very impressive!
Really enjoyed this spectacular display and good storytelling
Very enjoyable
Absolutely fantastic show so glad we went. Would recommend going 👍
Enjoyed the show and the whole experience.
Very enjoyable & cleverly put together experience - would definitely recommend!
A very wholesome experience
A Christmas Carol by drone was a great experience. My friend and I enjoyed every minute.
An amazing experience to start Christmas. The whole set up was so professional and technically mind blowing. So glad I went - along with family.
What an amazing show 😍 👏
It's clear a lot of work was put into making this show we enjoyed every second.
We will definitely be booking this again next year
Lovely evening just the right length - drones are so impressive!
Can’t wait until next year
A really different experience. The drones were so good at creating the images from the story.
Stunning
It was beautiful and lovely, waiting for next show
What a magical and creative experience, we all loved it.
For our first experience the show was spellbinding! We are definitely converts and will be attending in the future, well done yuup for a great evening…
Great experience, my little one was in awe of the lights!
Good for the whole family
Great show!
Everyone really enjoyed it
Very clever and enjoyable
Really enjoyed it
Excellent show, something different, family really enjoyed 5-14 year olds
Great event, really enjoyed our evening
This show was so amazing, so clever , Matt Lucas was amazing too, he has such a magical story telling voice, really well done and worth the money , defo booking next time xx
A wonderful experience especially for the children and a clear sky which was an extra bonus thank you
Excellent and very professional show
I thought the story was too complicated for little kids but the teens loved it
Very well done
Such an awesome drone display, it all comes together to look like magic lighting up the sky. Great enthusiastic host too, entertaining us while we waited.
We loved the experience, it was so magical and enjoyable for all the different ages
It was a truly magical experience, filled with wonder for adults and children of the meaning of Christmas.
Amazing evening, enjoyed every minute of it. Loved the show and everyone I showed on social media , said it looked amazing too .
Excellent show
Loved it, would come again
Something we've never seen before, a great first for us
A great evening, spectacular show. Looking forward to next year!
me and my husband loved it, a very different way of experiencing Christmas Carol but we really enjoyed it :)
It was amazing and I would come again 🙂
Amazing
Very enjoyable, amazing drones
Very good and engaging
So impressive what they pulled off, can't even imagine the organisation! Really creative and well executed
A lovely family experience. Something really different for Christmas!
A lovely evening spent with family. Maybe a few more stalls.
For advice for the future take a blanket but the organisation and the event was amazing
Really enjoyed the show. Was very cold though ☃️❄️ Food vans very good as well. Was organised brilliantly and was a lovely experience.
A great evening out.
Really enjoyed it.would go again
Fascinating experience, using drones for an amazing show. The modern day fireworks experience.
Great show and well thought out
Good seats, well organised and so much fun! Amazing display will go again. I'm hooked who needs fireworks when you can drone story!
Have never seen a drone show before and it took my breath away, thank you
It was amazing! Great Entertainment for children and adults!
Family fun
The show was fantastic. My grandson and I had a great time. Thank you
Amazing
Absolutely fantastic. I hope this is on next year.
Absolutely stunning show.
It was an innovative way of telling the story of Mr Scrooge
.
Enjoyed the show very much, slightly put off by very young childen/ babies crying
Absolutely brilliant and well organised Thank you!!
Amazing display and great voice over from Matt Lucas.
My grandsons aged 8 and 10 and I all really loved every minute!
Only complaint is that the food stalls were expensive
A briiliant show. Not seen anything like it before except on the telly! Friendly staff, great view and sound system. The drones were amazing.
Excellent show
The evening was very enjoyable and the venue was ideal. Leading up to the evening Yuup sent friendly messages reminding that it was coming soon. Just before the day I l lost the e-tickets online but it was easy to contact Yuup and they replied quickly and I recovered my tickets. Look forward to future events put on by Yuup.
Very well put together excellent efforts and great narration
Overall it was a magical and very atmospheric experience enhanced by the perfect weather. Our only tiny criticism is that some of the gaps (presumably whilst the drones were repositioning?) could have done with filling with narration, music, lights.
We loved it and would definitely go again.
An amazing show from start to finish. It was brilliant just seeing the drones rise up and and back down again
This was a very well organised and great event. Amazing story telling and just amazing ‘wow’ moments throughout. Would definitely go again
It was the first drone light show I have been to. It was technically very impressive but slightly uninvolving
I loved the drone show.
id like to see more maybe set to classical music would be gorgeous😊
Great show and enjoyed by all ages in our group
Fabulous
It was OK. We were lucky with the weather. I wouldn't go again but it was alright. Expensive for what it is but some of the light displays were great. The story was a twist on the original and was a bit naff I thought. It wasn't the 'wow' we hoped for.
Great experience magical narration excellence lovely xmas treat
Love the story of scrooge..great experience loved it...👍👍😊😊❤
Amazing highly recommend
Enjoyed very much as a first drone show.
Didn't always get the images at first, although most were very good. Not sure Matt Lucas has sufficient 'range' for the number of characters.
Hot chocolate was disappointing, brown hot water with almost no flavour. Mulled cider had sold out when we tried to buy some on arrival. £6.80 for a can of Guinness was steep.
Great show.
Excellent experience very clever the pictures made by the drones. We really enjoyed it.
Amazing
Excellent
Excellent show interesting that the patterns were clearer when looked through camera
I really enjoyed it and was very impressed
Brilliant!
A thoroughly enjoyable evening - very well organised and excellent, helpful and friendly stewarding
Very clever
Loved it! Amazing to see a well known story told in a fresh way. Very well organised. Would love to have this as our new family tradition al xmas outing.
Absolutely fantastic!!
Fantastic show
Amazing show, given the cold weather a perfect length!
A great mix of a very old well known story using modern day technology, focusing on the key elements of the tale.
This was such an amazing show. It gave me that feeling of childlike awe that we don't often get to experience as adults! My two children (10 and 5) both loved it too. So clever, so pretty.
I went with my partner and had a fantastic evening! All the staff were amazing, the food and drink options before the show were great, and the show itself was absolutely fantastic! The amount of hard work that must have gone into pulling that off was astounding, a really unique, creative and wonderful evening I would definitely recommend. Thank you so much! X
Was an amazing evening although very cold!
much more interesting and magical experience than any fireworks display. The size of the illuminations is enormous and can be seen by all. The audio was not very easy to hear since many people were talking over it.
It was fabulous, Matt Lucas did a great job and the drone manipulation was amazing. My only rider would be to tell people to bring blankets as it was freezing!!
Loved it! Such festive joy!
We loved this show, the only negative to say was that's house lights in the backdrop took away some of the effects of the amazing drones.
An excellent night out will be there next year 👍
Fantastic! Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. From booking to the day of the show we received regular updates via email & even the small mix up with food order was rectified without any fuss. Everyone at the event was extremely helpful.
Loved it
Wonderful!!!!
Great eve, would do it all again
It was a great experience
Great evening 🤩
What an amazing experience this has been. Truly impressed with the creativity of the drones and excellent narration. But the whole experience was very well organised too. I just didn’t want it to end. Well done everyone involved, and hope you’ll be back next year
Went with my three grandchildren age 16 to 7 we all had a great experience loved it thank you
First class through apart from the price of alcohol
Could be longer with more of a Christmas feel / build up before. Otherwise, great, location, creativity, story telling loved it.
Good length of show, well done. Would definitely recommend
Very Good
Very nice show! All family enjoyed it very much!
Light/ drone show was amazing…so clever… whole family thoroughly enjoyed…( youngest wanted to know what Scrooge died of!…we’re working on that!)… also encouraged grandchildren to read the story and watch the film. So thank you
We all have the best time the kids loved it thanku
This was the best light show I have seen. Well done all.
Unique Experience
Amazing experience great story telling and drone show that left us mesmerised highly recommend it
We had a great time. The kids really enjoyed the show and the seats were easy to find
Great fun for all the family
A very well-put together production that constantly surprised and presented a very different way of telling a well known tale.
Absolutely brilliant, very festive experience
Amazing, so enjoyable and different
It was a lovely way to get into the Christmas spirit. The staff were really friendly & helpful. The options for food & drink were spot on - especially the mulled wine/cider. Having got into the mood, the drone show was fantastic. Whilst some of the images took a while become clear, it was all incredibly clever. We were really lucky to have a dry, clear night and the bonus of a full moon. Thank you.
Had a wonderful albeit cold time
Stunning experience! Matt Lucas' narration was beautiful and the actual display was magnificent. The entertainment leading up to it was top quality too
Well organised with plenty of staff to help out
A great show
Brilliant experience
As mature adults, we felt the narration became a little tedious and panto-like. That latter might of course have been the aim!
But the wonderful opening sequence and perfect music raised our anticipation levels. Orchestrated to the right music would have been beyond brilliant.
It was amazing to watch and listen to the show. It was the first time to attend a show at the cricket ground. It was very well organised and having regular email contact, made it more enjoyable.
Thank you for arranging this show for us to see locally
Absolutely amazing show
Absolutely brilliant performance ! well done and thank you !
Fantastic unique show. Sound was a bit distorted and also there was a distinct echo that make the narration less clear than it could have been. However overall it was a fabulous show.
Amazed by the technology involved
Fabulous evening ✨️ Thank you
It was great show and an experience. Amazing work snd very festive.
Was very magical & very much loved this take on an old Christmas tale.
Fantastic show, easy to get to, friendly staff, nice food.
Amazing! Got us all in the Christmas spirit.
Great ticketing experience, well looked after and terrific venue.
Very good experience but would have preferred 1.5 hours instead of .45 minutes.
Wet enjoyable evening
Clever and effective, lots of wows
Brilliant my Granddaughter loved it xx
Very impressive. Would be good to know a bit more about number of drones used, height reached, number in the air at any one time (dad stats!) - and also know in advance that it was aimed at very young kids. Absolutely brilliant, though!
Enjoyable. Well done
Absolutely brilliant
Really enjoyed it and will definitely be going to a drone show again
Excellent show, something a bit different and suitable for all of the family.
Fantastic show. Our three generations of family looked it. Very well done.
Unbelievable drone show! Superb narrative from Mr Lucas. Took my breath away and would recommend the show to friends and family. Hope it’s repeated next year.
A little underwhelmed...perhaps expected too much. Drones do good shapes and twinkles but are slow and too big when doing really rough outline of very big characters.The window spirit ball coming in was the most impressive shape framed. Voices could have been by different people. Pleased to have seen the show but would not go again.
Just spectacular! As a parent to a disabled child going to events can be so daunting but this was fantastic! Thank you so much!!
Very well done, clever. Would have been nice too have more Christmas music first before it started.
Amazing! Our one year old son was mesmerised!!
What a wonderful night!!! We thoroughly enjoyed it and were enthralled by the drones. Also, the staff were just amazing! We got stuck behind an accident and we missed our show and the staff did everything to get us into the later show, so we didn’t all miss out. Brilliant staff and a total credit. Lovely to experience in this day and age!
Thank you so much to all staff and the team with the drones!
Happy Christmas to you! 🥰 PS if you do it again, please keep the hot drink stall open after 👍
Fantastic show! Unique and mesmerising. Well done!
Amazing show would definitely come back did think that the food selection was a bit limited. Nice to see some waffles. Pancakes pulled pork tacos dirty fries that sort of thin was very cold could do with some patio heaters or some fire pits so that you can toast marshmallows on before the show to keep warm. .
An enjoyable evening out with family.
A brilliant experience, never thought such imagery could be created by drones.
The story, the music, and the light show went together so well and cheerily created a long-told story. Would definitely recommend, would definitely watch again.
Was really good
Something different and we didn't know what to expect but were very impressed and thoroughly enjoyed our evening. We had suggested it to friends who took children to the afternoon show and also really enjoyed the show.
Great night with a fabulous drone show.
My only moan would be the limited amount of food outlets which led to very long queues and then they were closed 10 mins before show which meant many, children, went without.
Great show hope you will be doing more looking forward to seeing more thanks for a great show
This was absolutely magical. Me and my daughter had a wonderful evening
Wonderful experience fom start to finish. Very creative and enthralling!
Really fantastic show. Just the right length. Matt Lucus's narration was brilliant and the drones were awesome. Nice to see something a bit different.
Enjoyed an innovative and creative activity which was well hosted in excellent facilities.
It would have been great idea to suggest to bring blankets to keep ourselves warm during the performance.
