I went with my Daughter, 10 year old Grandson and his friend. It was cold but dry so
great for the drones. We had food and drinks from the various stalls, which were
great but expensive. The DJ's and the music beforehand were great as was the pre
drone racing. The light show was very cleverly done and the 3d effect of the stages of
evolution were brilliant along with the voice over. It wasn't just for kids as loads of adults
went on their own. Very busy but well organised.
Great evening out
It was nice.
We were a party of 7 mixed age groups. We all enjoyed the show very much but said we’d have liked it to be a little longer . The presentation and content was fantastic
The show was very interesting and very good
It was so amazing it left us wanting more.
This event was very well organised and made a pleasant change from firework displays.
Just spectacular!! I can’t believe I didn’t know about this show before! My son put it best “it’s like magic Mum”! A show not to be missed

Spectacular and mesmerising display. It was nice to socialise with friends beforehand too with a good mix of street food and accessible bar
Brilliant show, very enjoyable.
Unique experience, educational, kids had fun and concentrating at the same time. Will do it again and definitely recommend to friends and family!
Fun for all the family and very well put together.
Fantastic family event, the children loved it very captivating
had a great evening thank you
Mesmerising, I've only ever seen drones on TV and to sit and watch them in person was wonderful. I could have watched them for hours. The images they created and the music and narration was all excellent. Definitely will go to another.
Amazing
My first drone show. Really enjoyed it
Incredible experience
Great show with some excellent images portrayed through drones
I wanted the show to last longer
This was absolutely brilliant. We'll certainly jump at the chance to do it again. So creative and such a wonderful narrative to go along with the show. Great family night out.
Absolutely amazing show
What a brilliant show, it was informative too, a brilliant concept for youngsters to learn about evolution, I just wish it could have lasted a bit longer. Would highly recommend 👏🤩
Great show - very clever. I would highly recommend this.
Superb, definitely will be watching again
Absolutely fantastic, wouldn’t think twice about going again
Absolutely amazing!
Brilliant show and better than fireworks
Amazing event, would recommend to anyone wanting to see something a little different.
Innovative, sensational and technology at its best fabulous!!!!
An excellent time was had by all my family, thank you!
Not really knowing what to expect, we found it very interesting and enjoyable. Not sure younger children would have understood the message but seeing the drone display was brilliant. Children would really enjoy just seeing the show. Adults enjoyed seeing the show and understood the narrative.
We really enjoyed this event. It was a great evening out.
What an amazing show and storytelling absolutely loved every moment. Would definitely go again and recommend to others.
Fantastic drone presentation. Would have liked to see a bit more. Whole thing from booking to communication and organisation at the stadium were first class.
Magical! Absolutely loved it!
Absolutely fantastic. Awesome show. Easy to understand for children. Definitely recommend for all ages
Really impressed, the hosts were really fun and the show was amazing
Mind blowing.
Fantastic show! Would definitely go again.
The main show was really excellent and very interesting! The giant dinosaurs were amazing and I learnt some new things during the show. The pre show wasn’t so great but the audience participation was fun. All in all it was a fun evening would definitely book again next year if it was on again!
Mesmerising and fascinating to watch. Much better than a firework display.
It was an experience not to be missed and can't wait for next year's
Fantastic show! Fireworks are now so “last century”!
I thought this would be fun, maybe pretty, but was not prepared for the sheer wonder of the whole experience. I was enthralled from start to finish. It felt like it had lasted for 15 minutes, but actually went on for twice that. I could have gladly watched it all again today as well because everything about this show was wonderful, and I would recommend it to anyone. Bravo.
Excellent show,will definitely book again
Amazing show blown away by the creativity & what a spectacular event
Great experience, the main event was mind boggling and one of the best shows / events that I’ve seen this year. A creative art that when performed is a wonder to watch. A great family time and perfect location. I would love to attend next year - we can’t wait to see the new theme!
A fantastic show, thoroughly entertaining, a great evening!
So clever!
Great evening for all the family. Good audience participation..
A joyful experience
Just breathtaking & left feeling so chilled & happy. Soooo clever!
The family really enjoyed the show including the children 10 and 14.
Great show, alternative to fireworks
It was amazing , the whole thing was set up right, there was plenty of host around to ask for help or information, was well organised. BUT the show it self it was so amazing, very educating and very creative. Me and little one loved it and we can’t wait to experience it again, thank you all
Mesmerising no idea how they control the drones so brilliantly fun for all the family
Please do this every year!!
My husband and i really enjoyed the show. It was different to anything we'd been to see before so didn't know what to expect but we're so glad we came along. We would definitely go again.
There was nothing to dislike. The training that must of gone into it making it all I can say is amazing.
Excellent show!
Loved it ! such a clever way to tell the story of evolution how we began to where we are now! Only criticism I have is I felt it could’ve been a little longer but still unlike anything I’ve seen before ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Great display

Amazing show, great to watch for both adults and kids
First time at a drome show. Thought it was brilliant.

It was amazing!!
I didnt know what to expect as have never been to something like this before but was surprised how good it was. My daughter and granddaughter loved it too. Only wish it had gone on for longer.
Fantastic event, the main show was both captivating and very informative. The drown racing, whilst ok, did not really add to the event. Overall though, I would highly recommend for all the family.
It exceeded all expectations! Fantastic display.
Great show, a story from beginning to end, with precision drones
We took our family so the age range was 9 to 75 years, and we all loved it.

Amazing drone display
The whole experience was extremely well organized and amazing 👍
Excellent experience from start to finish. The only issue was that it was too short.
I took my son and my parents to see the light show last night. We had a wonderful time! Would definitely recommend. Only thing I would say negatively is that the sound affects where too loud and my son was scared, just wish I had bought his ear defenders! My fault really. There were lots of food choices before the show and the staff were all very friendly! X
First experience like it and thought it was fabulous. Had lovely story if evolution and taking care of earth and each other to good alongside. Daughter wants to show allnthe kids at school.
Amazing and would do it again
What a fun show. The warm up race was good fun getting everyone in the mood. I loved the story telling the drones were amazing.
The main show was spectacular. The drone racing was a bit underwhelming but the children seemed to enjoy it
Kids loved it. Great sound effects to match the visuals.
Excellent Show would definitely see that again
Amazing show
What a great night. The Evolution drone display was superb. Thoroughly enjoyed by two adults and two teens. My only complaint is that it was too short! Loved it
Very enjoyable and creative
A very novel innovative show that we enjoyed immensely.
Quite superb, educational as well as entertaining.
Great new experience. Family enjoyed it.
I really enjoy drone shows. The thought and effort in these shows are amazing. It's great how they do a whole show and presentation about our planet and universe. They make amazing shapes with the drones including planets, animals and even dinosaurs. Definitely worth a trip.
Was fantastic. So creative
Excellent show very educational as well as amazing ,we enjoyed it well worth seeing
This was a wonderful evening. We are looking forward to another one, fingers crossed there will be another.
Amazing experience! Just wish it was a little longer. We thought it would be more music orientated but it was incredible!
We saw this advertised on the day and bought last minute tickets. So pleased to have seen a drone show, a great alternative to fireworks to my noise sensitive daughter. We liked that it told a story too.
Really enjoyed the show
Great experience in a perfect location. Loved every minute of it.
The show was our first experience of drone light show. It was a unique experience to see the story of evolution in 3 D through drones. This form of entertainment has huge potential as more contents are created for presentation through drone lights
Had a fantastic evening! Shame it wasn't a little longer, but will book for next year!
My family and I loved the drone show, we would have loved a longer show but what we saw was brilliant!
