Evolution Drone Light Show: Northampton

Amazing light show! Decent live band too

I thought the whole thing was amazing, such a brilliant evening out for me, my partner and children.

It was nice to watch and looked amazing but it was so cold. If it is on again next year I would only come if it’s held at a time of year when the weather is a bit warmer. Maybe Easter time. It’s very expensive to just come to watch the drones. The live music was great but it was too cold to stay and watch it. A lot of other people left straight after the display finished too. Also it would be good if the drones danced around in patterns too.

Drone experience superb. Fun fare too spread out. Lack of catering.

This was great, loved the drones.

Nice

We really enjoyed the show, and are looking forward to the next one.

Excellent Display by the Drones, very easy to book event and the parking all at a reasonable price, event was well organised with plenty of choice for food & drink, plenty of staff around to provide help if required, we thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience.

Easy to book. Kept me well informed via email. location was easy to find. Drones were amazing. Band was good. Food was a bit costly but I expected that. Kids enjoyed the fun fair. All in all a fun event enjoyed by all the family. Only downside was the freezing cold weather but organisers can't be blamed for that.

From seeing the first advertisement, making a booking through to the very end of the performance, everything was of a first class standard and very professional in every way. The constant reminders with information were unique. The entrance, car park attendants were all very professional. I wish the Company every success in the future. Good luck

Luckily the all day rain stopped just before the performance. Good parking facilities and show area. Interesting to watch for all age groups, though the one downside is that the commentary was too quiet and the music too loud so not easy to hear all of the words.

would have been a great evening but for the cold and rain sound was a bit distorted

Great event, I would have preferred music over the drone show than the talking. Band and D.J were fab.

We had an amazing time. Would definitely recommend and bring grandchildren.

We found the drone show itself somewhat underwhelming. Perhaps we were expecting too much but it was very slow paced & almost educational, where we’d gone out for what we thought would be an impressive display. The Tom Betts band were fantastic, by far the highlight for us.

Awesome

We all thought it was amazing! Loved how the story was told too. Would have loved it to have been longer, maybe 40/45 mins but we would definitely recommend to friends and family

Music band was the wrong genre. It was a daily event and rock was not appropriate and it was much too loud

The show was brilliant, however staff were rude and stewards upset my wife and my kids but the drone show was so creative

Bought early bird tickets so good value for money. Easy to book, ground was good and easy to find and get around! Drone show was perfect timing (especially for kids) and informative and fun for kids!

The level of entertainment provided around the show itself was just right and the show was really entertaining. 30mins for the drone show was a good length of time for my daughter and she was wowed by the display.

Absolutely loved the concept and drone show, music, aesthetic…there was something for everyone

The drones were very good but a lot of things let it down unfortunately, like the parking on site was way too expensive, but to park on the neighbouring streets meant it was a very long walk with 2 toddlers in the freezing cold and rain! We wasn’t expecting such a long walk so we didn’t take a pushchair!
The rides, food and drinks were also extremely expensive.
I don’t think it was worth all the money we paid.

Great experience and well organised

Unique event, educational and fun. The location was a very good choice, out of the way but still plenty of parking. Parking was a bit expensive though.

I loved the concept and it's very clever.
However, lots of people left 15 minutes in because it was just too slow a start for kids on a very cold saturday evening.
In my opinion - and I love an education - it just needed a little bit more fun / speed / music.

This had so much promise, but fell quite flat. Which was such a shame. I think for future productions, a little more energy is required. It could have been really magical.

Great show, fair and food stalls. Just a shame it was so cold and people didn't hang about afterwards.

incredible!

It was amazing, something new and very realistic! My kid and I enjoyed every minute. It would be even better with a longer flight time and more drones! 🤩

Was very good but expensive for half an hour’s entertainment.

Great show, amazing

Despite a cold wet night the event was great and the family, kids, grandkids all loved it, well done!

Can’t wait for the next one.

First time we've been to a drone show. Was a very enjoyable experience, technology and show itself were very good and children really enjoyed it

Weather was not the best

Wonderful visuals and visual show, excellent clear speech and music and fun but factual theme. Shame it didn't last longer I could have watched all night.

Probably one of the best commercial events I have attended. The organisation was exemplary from parking to leaving the high number of stewards present were quick to answer questions and pleasantly dealt with the crowds.
The food stalls provided a great range of food at reasonable prices and like the stewards were pleasant, cheerful and helpful.
As for the drone show? It defied description but words like brilliant, stunning, exciting & amazing would be appropriate.

Very creative and clever light show.
Enjoyed by all the family, would highly recommend this experience.

Very entertaining highly visual presentation

It’s good but didn’t realise how far in we had to walk

Booking was v.easy. The drone show was fantastic, really engaging & fun. The event could have been a lot better. Not enough food stalls and those that were there didn't cater for dietaries (as stated on your website). We didn't bring our own food as we weren't allowed and weren't able to get adequate food. The portaloos didn't have any lighting - not helpful (or child friendly) at an evening event in Feb! Not enough signage. Thankfully Saints staff were helpful as couldn't find any event staff

Loved the creativity and the storytelling

Great show would go again

amazing like nothing seen before, kids loved it, fairground rides were fun and the band got us all dancing which kept me warm only thing was I wished I didn't forget my gloves!

We absolutely loved the drone show and couldn't fault that. Only things that we would change would be the music was a little too loud for my neurodiverse kids and the fair was really expensive. It would have cost us £21 for a family of 5 to have one ride on the dodgems so my kids went home disappointed

Great!

Very impressed with the spectacle and technical display brought to a town such as Northampton. Enjoyed the live band before but too cold to hang around too much afterwards. I didn’t think it was a great idea for the Host to announce, 1minute before the show started, the best place to view from was the rear of the car park. This led to lots of people suddenly moving in 1direction and a possible safety situation. Would’ve been equally as good in the area where we were originally near the stage.

Was great to watch!

Venue was laid out brilliantly with easy access to all the activities and great viewing. The fair for the kids was a real treat and my son thoroughly enjoyed every moment of his evening. The drone show was fantastic, and great to have the opportunity to see something like that in Northampton. Would definitely attend again if there was another event and would highly recommend to friends and family. Great Work Saints!!!

Really enjoyed the show, absolutely fascinating.

Most enjoyable despite the cold - only problem was it was only half hour long!

Great show.

amazing experience

My Son and myself had a great time, staff very friendly. Only one negative and it was as always about ticket master on car parking, how they think it’s business sense to charge £2.50 booking fee on £8 parking is beyond me. No booking fee on the tickets which is great but £2.50 for a digital code is robbery. Saying that it was a great night.

Maybe hold the event a bit later in the year as it would be warmer

Fantastic show with the live music. Only complaint was the very expensive parking and the lack of information about the relative car park location. Otherwise it was very well organised. Shame everyone left as soon as the show finished..

The drone show was really good

Absolutely fantastic! Hope you come back again with a different story!

Huge queue to enter as scanner wasn’t working to scan tickets. Car park was chaos on leaving! Drone show was good but just too short in my opinion

The 30 minute show was really very creative and great to watch and the Band was great also - the spoiler was the absolutely ridiculously priced food, drink and fairground rides.

I couldn't praise this enough. We had the most amazing experience. I booked online and it was so easy, reminders and help for parking. Communication from yuup by email was outstanding. The whole event was superb. Parking was easy. Seriously we LOVED it. The drone show was phenomenal. I took my 13 year old son and we were in awe. The voice over telling the evolution story was fantastic and drew us in even more. Great entertainment, food, rides, toilets etc. Staff lovely. Thanks. 😊 ⭐️⭐️⭐️🤩

Excellent family event. Great drone formations

Brilliant night. Loved the story method of using drones. Already looked at the wizard of oz show.

Excellent experience, hope you come back to Northampton soon.

Amazing clever technology

A lovely evening

First time I've seen a drone show. Very impressive. Great sound and narration

Brilliant but extremely cold evening

We loved the experience, it was amazing what the drones can to. My 5 and 3 yr olds were in awe. We would more shows, especially dinosaurs or other animals. We would definitely attend again.

A great experience for all. Pleased that Northampton has such events at a great location.

Great atmosphere, band were really good, loved listening to them before and after the show. The drone show was amazing and brilliant to watch. The description alongside the show was really informative. Loved it, well done! xx

Location details wasn't clear. Had to walk too far

Brilliant show absolutely out of this world.

A brilliant evening

A brilliant show , very clever & educational!! Hope they come back to the Saints.

Great evening, we be back for another one if it's a different show

I would love to see this in the warmer months so we could make an evening of it.

Excellent show

Very good

Impressive technology and unique but lacked scale and could be presented better. I.e the educational narrative nice but needed some ‘hairs standing up on the back of your neck’ type music. Also, build into a wider light show - lasers etc.

Captured attention of all. A programme/overview before booking would be helpful to know story to see suitability for all. But different!
Street food vendors were very overpriced for quality

Amazing we hope it will be back next year.

My kids had a blast
But was a bit too cold especially near the end

Just right on a cold February day.

The soundtrack voiceover could have done with being louder. Excellent drones .

The drone show was a magical 30mins, we were all transfixed. Booking and parking was easy. Saints host were great. Needed more food vans and rides were very expensive, only went on 1 and cost us £14

We absolutely loved it, our ages ranged from 6 to 70 and everyone had the best time. Good food, great music and amazing drone show. Parking was easy and it was all well organised . Many thanks

The actual drone show was excellent. 30 mins was long enough for little ones to stand. The location was good. I felt that tickets were expensive though, especially for families. Parking was very expensive. £8.50 but there was a compulsory £1.50 booking fee, so parking was actually £10. The fun fair rides and food stalls were also expensive. The event was hosted well. There were long queues to get in and out of the car park. More car park attendants needed. Overall though it was a good event.

Fantastic entertainment great value, would have liked a few more minutes. Food quality was disappointing. Would be better with some niche street food. Overall the show was great and the food didn't spoil the experience.

It was an amazing show just could of done with being longer.

Good, the kids said it was educational and fun but too short

This was a valentines surprise for my Wife and she was speechless. Anyone who enjoyes lights will love this.

Very enjoyable. Good value

The drone show was fantastic. Rides and food was too expensive

Very cool experience for families.

Very interesting, story to the drone shapes, something different, the future

Awesome

Only complaint is distance required to walk to viewing area and then having to stand. Otherwise excellent.

So very clever. Amazing to watch. Would love to go again.

Drone show was very good and band also good and decent sound.
Disappointed with signage to actual event and sat nav code given sent us up wrong road rather than to car park allocated to event. Although there seemed to be quite a few people in hi-viz jackets they weren't very active directing pedestrians or cars. As you would expect at such an event a rush at end of drone show to leave car park, but No traffic control to help clear car park efficiently.

Even though it was a cold evening, it was a great atmosphere. The drone show was excellent. I am looking forward to the next one.

The drone show was stunning and absorbing. The whole experience was enhanced with funfair, food outlets and a DJ before and after show. Viewing was excellent , parking was across road and everyone was having fun.

What an experience, to see these up close is truly amazing. Would rather see one of these instead of a fireworks display. Definitely wish to see more!

As an event it was visually engaging and the funfair was good. There were not enough food options however and if I hadn’t eaten beforehand I wouldn’t have found anything for my dietary needs.

Brilliant experience

Great drone show and exploration through time. The live music was good and the dj after played good music.

Absolutely fantastic show.

I attended this experience with my husband, daughters and husband and grandchildren. We all thoroughly enjoyed the drone presentation. Script was good and drone display was excellent.

Excellent and unique experience

Good show

Great show

Whilst the weather conditions were deemed safe for the drones to fly, they did not make for an enjoyable experience as a customer. The whole point was to make an evening of it - food, music, drones, etc. - but in the end, we arrived in time for the drones and left straight afterwards. I understand the challenges of re scheduling a performance but please think about the customer experience too. We missed out.

Lovely evening

An excellent show, and the whole event was run efficiently and professionally. Would go again.

Excellent drone show. Entry too slow. Stewards/Operators seemed to have trouble with the QR code readers which slowed everything down and made long queues. Car park had similar issues causing a build up of traffic. On the positive side it stopped raining!

Absolutely awesome and so well explained throughout the show. I would love to see another show and an even longer one. Absolutely awesome. What more can I say. Amazing.

Really enjoyed the show. Music was good and the drones were amazing.

could have been a bit longer but brilliant show

Just superb

Really enjoyed the display amazing
The let down of the night was the charges and poor food over priced

Excellent

Great night out for the family
Hope there’s another one - with nor food and drink outlets

Good entertainment and food choices. Great display that was entertaining. Very cold weather meant we didn’t stay too long after the drone show which was a shame for the entertainers as the crowd had thinned. Great value for money

We all had a great night, thank you for the experience. Just one negative - not enough lighting at the entrance before the show, tripped up the kerb and bumped into a wheelchair user.

What a great show

Creative and professional

Great story telling mixed with technology that kept the family engaged

No seating available, the experience was long and drawn out in the cold. Some of the drone formations were impressive but the story of evolution didn’t seem to flow well.

An amazing experience for all the family young to old and educational would definitely book to go again

Great venue, great entertainment

Spectacular

Another pictures will be great

The show was really good

Absolutely amazing, very expensive the food and the fun fair I don’t think was valued for money £17 for six sugar doughnuts with caramel sauce £3.50 per person per car so if asked three wanted a bumper car, it was 2150

Really enjoyed it with my family

Was an amazing experience . Seemed to be well organised and lots of stewards/security etc . The only thing I will say was that one area of the walk ( from Weedon rd) and near the car park was unlit -which is where blue badge holders were parking as it was the closest and it was quite difficult to see where you were going - but was lit when coming out.. so someone obviously didn’t get it right initially. !

Amazing really well done! Enjoyed the voiceover and story to accompany the drone show too

Enjoyable evening

Amazing! So clever!

It was really great to see something different in Northampton.

Great space, plenty of room, especially when you have children. Toilets very cramped.

Really enjoyed the show, only criticism was the sound system wasn't great so found it difficult to pick up all the commentary. Otherwise a great story telling display.

Show was incredible and informative, thoroughly enjoyed. The food vans were a bit disappointing limited choice and not very exciting. Otherwise great event in spite of damp weather. Really enjoyed

Great experience. Very well organised. Commentary good throughout.

A fantastic event, we stayed until 8.30 and would have stayed longer if the weather was kinder. Amazing drone display, great music, food and entertainment.

Brilliant show. Well organised. Hope they repeat the event.

Lovely evening out, just felt too short.

It was great, we enjoyed it . The only thing was the soundtrack speak could not be heard and we would catch bits but had to guess from the drones. This detracted from the experience. The soundtrack was playing from behind the crowd and there was other music and noise. Had the soundtrack come from in front I think it would have worked better.?
But we enjoyed it nonetheless the less. Very well organised and good communication.

The experience was excellent and the children loved it. But the fair ground ride was so expensive

Not the best weather all day but the show was very good, could have been more exciting. Band were great though

Fascinating
Very well put together
Thoroughly enjoyed the show

Enjoyed it. Easy booking eith good reminders. Excellent location. Could do a wider variety of food and drink stalls. Fair ground expensive for families and could do with other cheaper forms of entertainment for kids also. Show was good but was too short and ending was a bit tame. A big finale would be something to remember. Great first show though and will book again for next year.

Excellent narrative kids enjoyed it despite the rain

My wife and I and Grandchildren (13yrs and 6yrs) enjoyed the display. The commentary was excellent and good volume. Plenty of food choices, fairground and rides if wanted. Band, very good.

Show was excellent. Alternative parking at station cost £9! Venue not as advertised with a dark circuitous walk!

Thoroughly enjoyed by the family
