Very good evening out. Theatrical performance well staged. Something different.
It was amazing to see! Shame about the cold, we will bring blankets next time :). Thank you!
Really enjoyed this. Especially as an alternative to fireworks which my son is afraid of.

Very good evening out. Theatrical performance well staged. Something different.
Great experience, very cold (temperature dropped rapidly). Great show, amazing pictures in the sky, drones were so well organised and looked amazing in the different colours. Great story telling and timing. Absolutely amazing experience.
We had a great evening & would highly recommend this to anyone.
We attended as a family group - ages from 3 to 75 - and all enjoyed it the show. We were also impressed with the facilities, especially the food options on offer.
Mesmerising show that was thoroughly enjoyable.
It was a really creative experience and my niece loved it. I didn't really enjoy the narration as it was too slow and the story was too simple. I would have preferred an English storyteller as we're in England. But these are little things and overall it was enjoyable.
Lovely experience for my little grandchildren, food was certainly the right price for our family , look forward to another experience
The only thing missing for me was music.
Really enjoyed how it was all done very creative
Lovely night show, beautiful display & colours of drones, nice story telling, re-lived Wizard of Oz 🥰
Lovely experience, would love to see another. The only thing I would say is if the show had music it would be even better
A fantastic family friendly event! The show was creative and captured both adults and children alike. The free arts and crafts and glitter face paint was so great to see. These are often at additional costs to parents and it’s tough to say no so loved they were free!!
Good
Enjoyed the drones
It was such a lovely experience would definitely go again xx
Rescheduled from the Christmas cancellation due to severe weather, probably wouldn't of come to this theme in particular but it was great for families and Wizard of Oz fans. Thanks.
amazing show great family atmosphere would watch other shows.
Really enjoyed this. Especially as an alternative to fireworks which my son is afraid of.
Great show, excellent place for for it to be held. Cold but that's not the fault of the organisers!
Great show - but I thought it was a little too long. Attended the show last year (The story of evolution) and preferred it - just better stoty-telling
Really magical experience
Excellent though my only suggestion would be to have some music or songs too - it felt a bit like a bedtime story at times!! Fascinating to watch though.
We really enjoyed it.
Had a wonderful time, Being disabled booking was very easy for me and my carer xx
Excellent show with very clever and creative use of drones to tell a story. Beautifully executed. Stewards at Trent Bridge cricket ground were friendly and helpful.
Enjoyable
This was the second light show we had seen. It was great but we actually felt we were too close and it was difficult at times to make out the images. also the voice wasn't very clear.
We had a very enjoyable evening at Trent Bridge. The event was extremely well organised and there were plenty of food and drink outlets on site to choose from. Venue was excellent, although car parking at £10 I felt was rather expensive, and was also a longer walk from the venue than we were expecting. Although the show was only 45 minutes it was incredibly creative and clever! However, unless you're local, the travelling/walking times might make this too short a performance to be practical.
Great evening with good food
You just needed to distribute a brochure with the storyline or the transcript of story, as the voice was not clear at some times because of the audience. However, everything else was perfect!
It was amazing
Very enjoyable, great to have the whole story in 45 mins. Amazing technology Thank you
It was nice to see something different and set was for all ages
Good refreshments too , the price was good too
Was great
Very well organised. Great venue. Great display.
Excellent show. Recommended.
Affordable, accessible family fun evening. Thank you!
Great evening, not seen anything like this before. Would definitely recommend 👍
The show was absolutely amazing, would highly recommend the drone experience. Can’t wait until the next show comes to Trent Bridge!
This was my first ever drone show, I truly enjoyed the whole show. Great atmosphere and excellent views. Looking forward to my next experience.
Outstanding atmosphere- never seen this before - fantastic sight very enjoyable
We had a great time. Out boys really enjoyed it!
Really enjoyed it and would recommend but would have been enhanced by the use of better/ more music.
The whole family had a fabulous time. The ground staff were lovely. The sound system was spectacular. The drones were top notch, phenomenal scale and brilliant colour. The conditions were perfect for a clear view. The story was good for the whole family. Some of the adults in the group would have preferred the story to be more dynamic, rather than a single actor maybe multiple voices, but this is a small criticism for what turned out to be an unforgettable family evening out!
3 generations visited - including kids from 2 upwards. All thoroughly enjoyed!
Visuals excellent but would definitely have benefited from music
Well done, great technology.
Shame the music at the beginning had nothing to do with the Wizard of Oz, it didnt really set the scene, and why an american narrator???
Could have had more food choices and I think it would have been a great opportunity to have some stands there from organisations who do great work with Drones, in finding people, lost dogs and search and rescue work. Also maybe some drone sales companies could have contributed to the income by having a stand.
I have already suggested that they book up to go on one absolutely amazing 😻
We all thought the way the drones moved, rather than being static once the image was created eg the wicked witch, as it rotated, this was obviously for viewing it from the different stands, but also gave it a more interesting dimension, rather than it being static. V creative. Magical. A brilliant experience. Only downside was the food market. The queue for a coffee was horrendous so we gave up and the sweets stall was ridiculously expensive!
Na
Show was good but weather was soooo cold, but I know that can’t be helped
Not quite as easy to make out the images as the Evolution show, but incredibly impressive and beautiful to watch.
A very entertaining show.
Fabulous had the best time
A really good show, would highly recommend and very creative. Just a shame the Christmas Carol did not go ahead due to the weather but this was a very good show, thank you
Good animation. Great experience. Told the story well. Would be nice to hear more about how the effects are achieved.
Yes
Just disappointing the shoes were not red !!!! Other than that it was great
We enjoyed the Wizard of Oz drone show after having been disappointed with the Christmas Carol show late last year because of the bad weather. I'd booked it as a surprise for my sister and sister in law to go with me as none of us had ever seen a show like this before.
The build up to the start of the show was good with the lights and when it went dark there was a gasp from the audience. It was so clever how the drones move gently from one picture to another. Really creative and imaginative.
The recent Wizard of Oz Drone Light Show in Nottingham was nothing short of a mesmerizing spectacle that brilliantly merged cutting-edge technology with the beloved classic tale. Set against the darkened skyline, the drone show brought to life iconic scenes and characters from the timeless story, leaving the audience in awe.
Everything went smoothly and staff were friendly and helpful.
Second time seeing a drone show and would definitely go again! My opinion it would have been nice to have music from the film in parts of the show to go along with the story of wizard of oz.
Fantastic for family
Was very impressive and a perfect length to be good for all ages
A great experience
I thoroughly enjoyed watching my first drone show. I was less keen on the American voiced story. In my opinion- there was too much focus in emotions even from the very beginning. It could have done with a more active narrative and then the messages could have made a more effective plenary.
Magical experience.
Really enjoyed the show
This is our second drone experience and whilst it was very good it wasn't quite as impressive as the 'Evolution' display. I think Oz was over complicated for the drones to display too their best. But it's still fantastic.
It was a good night
As I big Wizard of oz fan I thought I had seen it all but this show was absolutely fantastic
Very good
Such a unique experience . Thoroughly enjoyed it
Magical
Brilliant, could of been on a little long
Fun show, very unique. Story could have been a little longer to add more detail.
A fabulous evening, the volunteers and stewards were exceptionally helpful directing us where we needed to be. The show was awesome and brilliantly presented
Loved the whole experience, the drones are amazing and the show was nicely narrated.
The venue was excellent and well organised.
Absolutely amazing and so clever how it’s done
Something very different and well organised. The drone programmers are incredible to create such display!
As always, Trent Bridge was a great venue. The stewarding staff there are consistently professional, helpful and kind.
The drone show was technically good and enjoyable.
I might not do it again, but as a one-off it was a good experience.
Great show
Was great
Very good 👍
We had an awesome night out at Trent Bridge last night!
The drone show was something unique and something I’d wanted to experience for a while. Great to have it in a place that i could drive to easily.
On the afternoon of the show i realised my etickets hadn’t arrived and the customer service assistant online was speedy and helpful in sending them out to me via email again - great service!
Incredible
Good performance
Just an incredible experience and a wonder of technology being able to create something at one of my favourite sporting arenas.
The drones are amazing. Fabulous. The opening music and flashing lights didn't seems to have much to do with the theme of the evening. The narrative...the story...is very poorly delivered. Preachy. Lacking in dynamism. Old fashioned..All the kids with us found it a big boring and weird. Such a shame because the drones are fabulous...narrative let's them down.
It was a great evening. Made to feel welcome at the venue the moment we got there. The drone show was amazing, not seen anything like it before, such a clever creation.
All the family loved it
Had a lovely time, arrived & browsed food/drink stalls, staff were super helpful, only downside personally was our seats were row G, no handrails which at 72 & arthritic, I needed. I held on to the backs of seat, next time I'll book better seats for my situation but I’d go again. Wonderful show, started/finished on time! The parking was bookable said a five minute walk, definitely not, took well over 15 minutes! I’d not use the parking again sadly! A good entertainment experience!
Great show. Very clever
My last drone show was terrible, to be honest, it was quite awful. However, I have to say that you have truly put things right this time around! The little queuing and easy parking were 100% organized, which made a huge difference.
I had my doubts from my last experience, but you definitely nailed it this time. It was amazing—absolutely amazing! The kids loved every moment of it.
Thank you for making a positive change.
you created an amazing experience that little ones will never forget
I thought it was fantastic would definetly recommend I thought it was long enough and the story was really good. Would definetly come again. Well organised. Very happy. 😃😃😃
Enjoyed the show
Excellent display and very helpful staff. Thanks for a memorable evening.
More variety of street food would be a good improvement
Even though we are in our 70's we thoroughly enjoyed the show. It was creative and so clever it was mesmerising watching the drones maneuvering into the different characters. Can't wait for the next one to come along.
Excellent
Great show and good view from the seating.
Absolutely amazing experience! The whole family loved it.
Delayed enjoyment having booked for the Christmas show that was cancelled due to windy conditions. We ended up with sets fairly high up that were a bit of a problem for dad and his wobbly walking now. Would still book again though and make sure we got seating lower down. Thought there may vale been a lift we could use but no signage we could see and it was heaviness when we arrived. The show was fab. Thus may well become a replacement for fireworks. Much more interactive entertainment.
It was pretty much as good as evolution
Amazing experience!
Enjoyable and captivating. Difficult to recognise some of the images at times but overall a very clever and different t experience. Fantastic venue
The show was amazing, really loved it and so creative!
Lovely event. Drones put on an amazing show. Thought text/email updates were very helpful. Loved it!
Fantastic experience, my niece and nephew loved it
Our 3 year old loved it! Was an awesome experience even with the cold
Was a great night out
Easy to get to location,great visibility at venue,colourful and entertaining
It was absolutely amazing. The speakers were too loud and it's a shame there was no music from the film
Brilliant. Enjoyed every minute. Something different. Fab evening out x
The drone light show was fantastic—creative and well-executed. The staff was friendly, and the event was well-organized, making for a smooth and enjoyable experience. It was a lot of fun! However, I was hoping for a bit more of a "wow" factor. A larger-scale display with more drones could make it even more impressive in the future. Looking forward to seeing how the show evolves!
It was mesmerising and very well done.. Memorable for lifetime...
Amazing show. Really enjoyed it. Our group ranged from 10 years old to 87 and we were all mesmorised.
Brilliant show, and lovely narrated story, was a little chilly
Amazing and creative. Large scale took us by surprise. Would have liked it to be longer and the narration in British accent/ English
Fantastic show! Really enjoyed myself and it was very different!
Very good event
Great show, my son loved the whole show
Great show, really different version of the story
Second drone show. Absolutely brilliant!
Was an amazing show and we all really enjoyed it x
Brilliant night, excellent host, lots to do at the start
Maybe book more than 2 face painters to stop the queue but otherwise fantastic
Great show
Loved it
excellent show
The drones were fantastic, the story , lights and atmosphere wonderful
Great location, some music to match the theme would of been good.
The ques for food were painfully long, but the show itself excellent.
Amazing show! Really impressed 👏
Loved the light show.
My only observation is that the sound was way too loud.
Also thought food and drink prices (especially in the premium bar) were a bit steep
I had never experienced a drone light show before. This was my first time, and it didn't disappoint. A very novel way of recreating a well known story in just 45 minutes. Very enjoyable!
Great experience from booking to attending. Really well organised with great communication.
X
Well organised
Wow, from start to finish, the show captured both me & my autistic son. We loved every moment & could have stayed & watched it again! Bravo!!👏🏻
Magical show for the family
Absolutely magical. Loved it!
It's hard not to get lost in these shows.
I can't wait to see what these shows are gonna look like in a couple of decades time, because the benchmark has already been set.
Amazing experience and fantastic light show
Storytelling was annoying but the drones were cool
Wasn't really sure what to expect when booking, however my family and I walked away so mesmerised by what we had just seen. Everything about the 45 minute display was amazing.
Loved it! Fascinating to see what story could be told with drones but absolutely blew me away! I cannot wait to see what the future holds
The Wizard of Oz Drone Light Show in Birmingham was an absolutely stunning experience! This is my mum’s favourite film, so getting to watch it brought to life in such a unique way was truly special. The drones created breathtaking visuals, from the yellow brick road to Dorothy and her friends, all set against the night sky. It was a wonderful treat for me, my mum, and my nan. The colours, music, & storytelling through lights made it unforgettable. A must-see for any Wizard of Oz fan! 🌈✨
missed the drone race before the event this time. would have liked that.
What a great experience watching such a formation. Remarkable
UNIQUE EXPERIENCE WOULD HIGHLY RECOMEND
