Evolution Drone Light Show: Durham

Amazing little date night and didn't cost a fortune. Would definitely do again...

Very good blue badge parking near event. Very well organised getting into event. Drone show was very creative and nothing like we've seen before.

A fantastic evening. Lovely tasty food & drink. Great tunes played at the build up show . Brilliant light show with a wonderful story to boot. Thank you

Good experience, was very busy for any food at the venue and expect lots of queuing for it. The actual show itself was excellent and immersive, we really enjoyed ourselves and I can imagine in whatever seating you select you would have a great time as the content they were showing was spun around 360 degrees each time. Would recommend as you don't often get the chance to see a drone show in the UK!

Amazing. Adults enjoyed it and kids loved it

Grandson loved the show, hope it returns

Really enjoyed it, very fascinating how they do that

I found the show very Informative and entertaining and on the down side, too short.....would have enjoyed more!!

Really great evening for a family- well organised, thoroughly enjoyed it.

Brilliant!

It was a great show, well organised and a great family event but felt that it was a little too short. Over in a flash!

Enjoyable

Great night out. Really enjoyed it.

Both myself and my 12 year old daughter thought the show was amazing.

The drone show was amazing, very cleverly done and interesting. Something a bit different to see. We were lucky with the weather too!

A unique experience and thought the production was very creative. A recommended experience.

I thought it was absolutely brilliant very well done really enjoyed it. Would recommend it to family and friends. Well done to who ever arranged it

An excellent evening with a stunning show.

More food stalls needed as queues were 45 mins long

Very enjoyable. Great for kids.

Absolutely fantastic. I would definitely recommend. Keen to see again. Entertaining for all ages

Excellent show would recommend for all the family

Really enjoyed the show. Very impressive how the shapes are created using drones and it was good to have the commentary running throughout. Great for all ages. Would have happily sat watching for longer, but I think the length was probably just right - we were lucky with the weather in that it was relatively mild, but can never predict it! Good value for money and would definitely attend another show

A good experience, however, the show could be a little longer.

Totally blown away by the show

This was my first drone show and I was completley blown away! It was amazing!

It was great I wished it was longer!

It was short enough for kids to sit through it. I thought it was good, very creative

Would love to see another show soon 👍

Amazing event, constantly in awe

Great show, really enjoyed it. I didn't expect a story with it, so it was really interesting as well.

Absolutely loved the light show. What a fabulous experience. Would highly recommend. The only downside is it could have been longer as it was mesmerising and over far too soon

Very unique and entertaining

Really enjoyed this show. Would have loked it to last longer as i was so engrosed. The animation of some of the 'creatures' was brilliant. The shark was so good I expected it to 'swim' around the cricket pitch and flick it's tail! I guess there are limits to possibilities and safety. Brilliant show.

Really clever , would be great if there was more events like this

Excellent production

Very well organised. Great choice of food and the drones were amazing.

Spectacular - perfect family activity. Show length just right for younger children.

A well presented show, could have watched it for another 30 mins!! Amazing how it's all put together.

Would love this to have been longer. But overall me and my son were absolutely mesmerised. It was fantastic.

My family has enjoyed it
For me I’m deaf and there was talking during the performance I think it would be great to have accessible for deaf children and adults with subtitles caption like in the theatres

Excellent

Thought this was a great show and very entertaining.

First drone show we have been to and really enjoyed it. Absolutely amazing!

Great evening

Great idea

Fantastic show,

Fantastic display

X

Well worth it!!!!

Very well organised, great pre show entertainment, friendly professional staff followed by superbly organised car parking egress after the fabulous show

Thoroughly enjoyable night. Only criticism would be the queues for food

Went with my partner and daughter we really enjoyed it the light show was amazing the way it was setup and also can be educational for some children while also been fun we enjoyed it and would go again also we felt safe plenty of security no hassle getting in and out

Great evening enjoyed by our family

Great show

It was so great and well organized plenty of staff to ask were to go could not believe how many people there

Great experience which the whole family enjoyed. Commentary could have been a touch louder. Would definitely recommend.

A fantastic show - a little too short though - this is the way forward for firework displays

Great venue . Very informative, interesting, good theme to get people to listen

Best educational experience ever, so informative. A unique way to share evolution of the planet. All kids should get this opportunity.

Brilliant show! Fun event in great location! Very well organised and venue staff, without exception, were super friendly and helpful.
The only drawback was the multitude of vehicles parked in surrounding residential streets despite the ‘residents only parking’ notices. (Not restricted to this event but every event hosted by DCC ground, and is becoming increasingly inconvenient and impacting on local residents ability to go about their day to day lives).

Excellent show, very well organised. Highlights for us were the shark, rocket and Eiffel Tower. We were glad we’d booked seats in the Castle view suite, hospitality was great.
The food village was not so good as the food trucks were very close together and the queues were enormous.
We would definitely recommend the experience. Shows further north would be fantastic we travelled from north Northumberland .
Well done to all concerned in organising this event

Amazing! Great accessibility

Great night

We both enjoyed the show
Quite short but realise the batteries don’t have a long run

Fantastic show

Better than fireworks for people who are neurodivergent or don't like loud noise

Would have loved a longer show but it was great to see

Great night

..

Excellent drones and well thought out event space with seating etc.

For improvement please make the soundtrack louder - it was v quiet!

Also the music and voiceovers need to be more EPIC! Take a look at some of Disney's drone shows for inspriation

An amazing show

Amazing show nothing like it would recommend it to all

There was 11 of us. One under 3 one in wheelchair one 94 years old and we all had a brilliant time

This was a great show! Well organised and something a little different to see. The whole family enjoyed it. Great value for money

Was very clever. The narration made it really interesting.

A Different unique experience. Well worth seeing , suitable for all ages. Thought parking might be a problem but plenty spaces at golf course , short walk to venue . Well organised event . Also the DJ prior to the main attraction was fun and entertaining.

Fantastic evening, amazing drone work, great venue. It was the first time the show had been as far North, hopefully they will be back

It was really great but just a bit too short

The whole experience was brilliant. I didn't know what to expect so when I saw the show I thought it was fantastic.

Brilliant and well organised

Great night

Excellent

Absolutely brilliant, would do it again

Excellent

.

Lovely evening just would like it to have been longer

Superb throughally enjoyed it

A great night as a treat for the grandchildren.

Unforgettable. Loved it.

It was clever and different. Enjoyed it but too short.

Great show

Great show, very clever. Too short though.

Absolutely fantastic 👏

A real spectacle, really fun.

Very enjoyable but far too short

Absolutely amazing experience

Very good company to book through

Excellent show, venue refreshments too limited though with large queues from the gates opening till just making it for the show.

Wasn’t sure what to expect but definitely wasn’t disappointed. Thoroughly enjoyed it

The drone show was amazing, plenty of good food outlets at reasonable prices, the radio commentator was good at keeping things entertaining and for updates. Lucky to have had good weather. All in all a great evening out, the kids 2 and 6 thouroughly enjoyed it. Hope it comes back again.

My son is autistic and I was worried about a large group but the organisation was amazing. We both loved the show. Would def see it again and recommend.

Great show, good queues not great however understanding due to volume. Have recommended and would go again in the future.

The show was fantastic. However the organisation around parking was simply appalling. We paid for priority parking. But could not park as the venue was full and was sent to the nearby town to park. Even though we had paid for a spot. No information or guidance. Stewards just sent us away.

Absolutely magical experience. Totally blown away! You really have to see it for yourself to understand how spectacular it was!

Loved the drone show. Very interesting and entertaining so clever in how they create the images. Only drawback was the narration was quiet and I couldn’t hear very well but I’d definitely watch it again.

Great show and loved the story that went alongside it, would have loved for it to be longer

Really enjoyed the show, wished it could have been longer but appreciated the battery life for the drones.
Only complaint was the lack of food vendors, queues were far too long that we didn't bother getting anything and we had planned on it.

Great show, could have had more toilets open at the County Durham side, bit of a walk with children would be me only criticism. Other than that great experience would go again

Very enjoyable experience, well organised only negative point would of been longer

It was a unique and educational experience. The children were fascinated from beginning to end and so was I. Would definitely recommended to anyone who has the chance to see it.

Absolutely brilliant show, was over too soon, very interesting

It was very well organised ! From the ease of parking to the ease of getting seated ! Made the whole experience better

Thought it was amazing
Only problem was queuing for food such a shame far too long
Show itself was fascinating 😀

The display was great but would have been nice if a bit longer.

Well done for bringing something creative to Chester le Street in the northeast

Enjoyed the show

Absolutely brilliant so creative stunning colours well organised all staff were great

There could of been a bit more entertainment for kids before show as the queue for food was extremely long

What an amazing show seeing the children's faces light up while watching fantastic

Show was amazing, def 5 stars. Parking was good. Unfortunately not all accessible lifts working which is a venue issue. Food village a shambles, more stalls needed and quality of food bad so def needed improving . Show and staff were great though and correspodence was great.

Great experience in an ideal setting. Absolutely loved this show. Glad we booked parking. Well staffed and well organised. Highly recommend

I took my family and we all really enjoyed it so different. I think some dramatic music would of enhanced it and a better build up to it but we were not disappointed we'll done.

Drones fabulous …food village , insufficient food selling vendors resulting in huge queues

Well organised event. Fantastic show, spectacular visionary display with precision and great narration. Far exceeded what we expected and hope to see more of this very skilled show

Great show, absolutely stunning and so mind blowing how it's done, kids were blown away..would 100% recommend and would go again.

Amazing

Was a very good show. I would definitely recommend it too people. The only downside, I think it could have went on a bit longer, but we knew the timings before booking.

Magical!!!, much better than going to see firework displays. Loved the whole thing but just wished it was longer. Slight problem with our seats not being opened initially as some general confusion with vendor, however this was resolved and did not thwart the experience at all. Please come back, we would definitely do this again and again.

Very well organised, fantastic show, friendly staff, was dreading trying to get out of the carpark as so busy but the staff did a fantastic job directing traffic to keep everyone moving safely and preventing a grid lock and we were on our way really quickly. Well done everyone

Show was good kids thought it was fantastic better than fire works.

Amazing show all kids should have the chance to attend

It was mind blowing. One of the best things we have ever seen Didn’t want it to end.

Myself and my son had an excellent time. The drones were faultless and very educating for the kids too. Something we’ve never seen before but would love to see again! Thank you!

Amazing experience and very educational

Na

Realy enjoyed it just thaught it was to short

Well organised …. Car park and entry into ground. Food/drink queues a bit off putting especially with young children!

As a family, we loved it!!! We’ll definitely look to book again! Story telling and accompanying music was wonderful!
Thank you!!

Just wish it was longer!!

Absolutely fantastic.

Show was great. Very thought provoking

Amazing family experience

Great display and enjoyed by my 7 year old.

We really enjoyed the show. Would highly recommend and would definitely go again myself

Evolution drone show at Chester-le-Street cricket ground was spectacular. How they made the 650 drones fly and make places and animals come to life was a work of art. The narrator was amazing too. To good to be missed great show.

Wasn’t expecting the storytelling - a definite plus to a fascinating display.

Something I had never experienced before and I was blown away with how seamless the transitions were. A little bit of education thrown in too. Good entertainment for all of the family

Could have watched this for hours, very clever.

The story soundtrack was a bit quiet so couldn't hear it at all times.

This was amazing experience very well done. Only negative is we could have sat of watch more. Highly recommended to see if you every get the experience

.

Amazing night.

Seemed to take a long time for the show to get going!

Great experience. Great to watch and also interesting facts . DJ was very entertaining.

It isn't a long show but it's fun. The warm up drone race didn't add much to the experience. It could be clearer that car parking needs to be booked in advance..

The drone light show was amazing, a really good experience for all the family, we would recommend!

Great night. Worth every penny. Some clever people . Only drawback was the ridiculous queues at the food vendor stalls. We left hungry.

Very clever representation of evolution. Thought it would be to music and more like new year London drone show.

Enjoyed the show, plenty of food stalls parking was good as got car parking ticket beforehand

Technologically the best thing I have ever seen. It was jaw droppingly brilliant! Stunning. Thank you all well done...more next year??

Very thoughtful information given prior to event.

It was really well organised and very entertaining x

Just a great evening out. The drones sounded like a swarm of bees which was very relaxing. Kid loved it. Educational too.

Yes it was lovely I've always wanted to see the drones I would love to see them again next year

Great show would have enjoyed it more if it was a bit longer

Fantastic

Outstanding show. Totally awesome experience . Very uplifting

Very professional and clever

Fantastic, interesting, enjoyable, well organised evening.

We loved everything about this event. Brilliant show.😃

Really enjoyed the show hope to go again next year

Well organized, presented, and entertaining. Thank you.

Really clever and skillful

I sat and watched the display in sher wonderment absolutely fantastic.
It was a great crowd, and the organisers did a great job with security and were really polite and helpful.
A night to remember

Enjoyed the evening with the grandchildren..
Only grumble is the amount of street food vendors wasn't enough. Very long queues at the popular ones.
More seating around the food venues would also help.

The show was fabulous and we all thoroughly enjoyed it.

Loved it!

Good host

We really enjoyed the night and the drones were amazing

Excellent organisation and a brilliant event!

The show was excellent, however there was nowhere near enough food stalls for the amount of atendees.

Very well organised and the drone show was fantistic

Fantastic event!
So well organised and all the pre-event booking and information was excellent. Loved it from start to finish! Thank you for a wonderful, creative, interesting and fun night out.

Amazing show. Everything about it was great.

A lovely evening out which was well organised. The host kept the audience entertained until the beginning of the show and the drones were amazing.

Great show, just a shame it wasn’t longer as we loved it

Excellent event for all ages.
Really well organised.

We’re into our seats a little before 8pm. Thought the build-up was good and the obstacle race was a great opener.
Do hope the operators extend their repertoire and they are invited back next year.

Fun

My son age 9 said it was the best thing ever, learning about the planet, the eco system was an added benefit. Not to mention the fabulous displays from the drones. 10 out of 10 for me..

Amazing show, mesmerising, could have watched it all night! Please come back to Durham, we will definitely come again.

Something different, enjoyed evening. The ground block numbers could have been displayed ,to stop the confusion of people sitting in the wrong seats .

Brilliant show and the theme was fantastic. Would definitely go to another one.
Only thing is the queues at the food trucks was ridiculous

Amazing show, whole family loved it!

Fab for all ages fun and educational

Great evening. Thankfully the weather played ball. Only snag were the queues for food and drink. When the ground is full for a test match its is far better set up. But the show was amazing

The show was really good. The drone shapes were fantastic. Thought could have made the commentary a little more fun and upbeat. Maybe add a little modern music to it in places as well.

Absolutely fantastic drone light experience, shame that despite being advertised there were no vegan hot food options available.

Astonishingly brilliant. All good. Easy booking and a brilliant venue

A brilliant first drone show for me! The theme of Evolution, from The Big Bang to our future, are represented beautifully in the visuals and audio. I was lured in by the promise of a dinosaur and Wow! what a fella it is! Short enough for to keep the attention of younger kids, it flies over for adults. Magical family entertainment!

The drone show was genuinely breathtaking and a great family experience.

There weren't enough food stalls, the queues for that were awful and disappointing there weren't more options.

Stress free visit just the right length of show for kids not to get bored with food vendors and pub grub options. Great night super impressed with the creativity and imagination of the show and sheer technical brilliance for the drones!

Myself and my disabled daughter have never seen anything like that before. Totally amazed at the movement and colours of the Drones. Story behind the show fitted perfectly in the movement and colours. Can we please come and see it again?

Just amazing

We had a Great Experience at the Riverside

Amazing!

Very well organised from the booking process, communications and at the event. Was a really entertaining and different evening, highly recommended!

My family and I really enjoyed Evolution. The show was exciting and beautiful.

I would recommend this event to anyone with family great atmosphere and lovely place where it was. I would happily watch this event again it was that brilliant. The kids loved and they was amazed

Looking forward to the next one!

The whole show from start to finish was absolutely amazing. Highly recommended.

Really enjoyed the show. Can't wait to see it again

Excellent show, amazing

Throughly enjoyed the drone show, was mesmerising! Would highly recommend to friends

Like nothing I've seen before!

We really loved it, whoever came up with the idea, well done! 5 stars

Amazing show, with a great story! Would definitely recommend

Breathtaking and spectacular! Can’t wait for a next one!

Unlike anything we’ve seen before. Captivatingly creative

We had a great night. The show was absolutely amazing. It could do with being a bit longer but when you consider the amount of work involved I can understand it being the length of time that it is. I would recommend seeing it. 👍

We thoroughly enjoyed the event. Great to have a story, music and a narrative

A superb event for the whole family.

Absolutely amazing.

I booked for 10 of us to go. Mixed ages from 75 down to 15. All thoroughly enjoyed it. The 15 year old doesn't usually want to leave his gaming computer so big result there. We also had a Guide Dog puppy in training with us and all staff were incredibly helpful with that.

We weren’t sure what to expect but really enjoyed it, so very clever

Fantastic, wish would do this instead of fireworks displays on bonfire night!

Amazing to see hundreds of drones making these perfect giant shapes despite fairly windy conditions. Amazing

Very creative & relaistic 3D forms in the sky from the many drones

A very entertaining evening, certainly would go again.

I thought the drone show was amazing especially when the characters moved as if they were in 3D! Very informative with a wow factor!

Absolutely stunning and our minds were blown with the capabilities of ariel displays using drones. Looking forward to the next one.

Breathtaking!

Better than fireworks. A geat new experience.

Brilliantly choreographed and a very enjoyable experience. Would definitely go and see another show in future.

Really original concept. Kept my attention throughout and my teenagers were engaged too. A little short maybe. I liked the buildup to the show which created a sense of anticipation. I can imagine that this new entertainment art form will become very popular. Massive congratulations to you all for your pioneering work. Wishing you great success in the future.

Was fantastic, organisers were really helpful

It was my sons 14th birthday and he loved it

Spectacular show. Thoroughly enjoyable experience for three generations of our family.

The kids thought it was fantastic and the adults too ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

An absolutely breathtaking experience!

Fantastic experience. Very imaginative. Better alternative to fireworks.

Brilliant night, very creative and well executed. Looking forward to seeing another show

Much better than I had expected, great storyline with music. 9 yrs old grandson was most impressed Thank you.

Excellent show, brilliant concept, fun for all the family. Only let down was the weather was a bit cold 🤦🏾‍♀️

Wasn't too sure about this experience initially but I'm so glad I went. My daughter accompanied me and we were both very pleasantly surprised. Quite emotive actually.

It was really interesting to hear a little about how the drone show was created and an overview of how the whole process comes together.

We also enjoyed the 3D element- for example, the T-Rex head that rotated as the jaw opened and closed - brilliant !

Awsome atmosphere

Brilliant 👏

Everything was perfect,it was simply amazing!

Great event and setting. Thoughtful choreography set to a meaningful story line that gave it clear structure but remained fun and innovative.

Family of 4, 2 adults kids.
We all had a lovely time our kids said it was fantastic.
I hear people moaning the Drone Light Show wasn't long enough, personally I thought it was just right.
Would definitely book again.

Really enjoyed the food variety before the show. It was a magical experience for us it was the first time we’ve seen anything like this. A big thank you to all that was involved in putting on a spectacular show .

Superbly done and a technical marvel

Took my grandchildren and they were blown away - thanks.

We loved it. Amazing show! 👏

It was thoroughly amazing and more than we expected. The narration was perfect and the drones were brilliant. We said we'd rather watch that than a firework display of any quality or quantity. Thank you very much.

It was a very impressive, something different which we have never seen before and I thought it was brilliant 🤩

Excellent event, definitely recommend. My boys loved it

We loved it. Would love to see another show!

Brilliant night. Thoroughly enjoyable

Myself and my partner really enjoyed this event.. and would definitely recommend and go again. Thank you to all involved

This was an exceptional experiance I would highly recommend this to anyone that get's the chance to go.
I'm so looking forward to the next one !!

Absolutely fantastic. Loved every minute of the drone light show

Spectacular performance, well organised and great communication. Thanks for such a memorable evening.

The show was speachless, amazing time . Loved it

It was something different, the children enjoyed the experience, we would visit again. Great value for money compared to other family events.

Fantastic experience, my grandson loved it (so did I)❤️

Very exciting to watch, well choreographed. Would have liked more figures, but the shark, dinosaur head and turtle, were outstanding...
I would definitely recommend this show.

Great night out, an absolutely magical and mesmerising experience. Well hosted and a generally really good night

Well organised. Friendly helpful venue staff. Of interest for all ages

So well organised. Great story and amazing show

Looking forward to enjoying more events with Yuup.

Thoroughly enjoyed, the drones were visible wherever you sat, not seen anything like it before, would definitely see them again.

Absolutely magical. Spectacular show

A..mazing

Great show for grown ups and little ones. The story line was very interesting and the drones were amazing.

We had an amazing evening from start to finish, everyone was there to help and guide us and all were good humoured, the Drones were amazing and well executed, the time went so quickly, we left wanting more!!!

An excellent show - must watch!
100% worth your money - the narrative of the story with the light effects and of course the star of the show - the drones!! A brilliant revolutionary idea- 100% recommend and will go again! Great location as visibility of the drones was perfect and it was something unique that I’ve seen for the first time. Brilliant job to the creators celestial for the concept! A fab day out for family and highly recommend. 5 ⭐️

Quote from my husband ‘That was one of the best things I have ever seen in my life!’

Absolutely stunning! We loved it!

Had an amazing evening at the drone show. Was a great story, engaging and spectacular. The kids absolutely loved every minute of it. Would highly recommend.

Really enjoyed the show. Beautiful creations made telling a story. Good venue and great communication from the company about the event.
