An aerial spectacle is coming to a sky near you this December! Imagine, hundreds of illuminated drones flying in unison in a spellbinding celebration of the living world.
Evolution, an epic drone light show which promises to take audiences on a mesmerising journey through time and space, will take place this December in Wolverhampton and Bristol to brighten up the winter's night sky!
Featuring the latest technology, a tale older than time, and a mesmerising original soundtrack, this narrated story of our existence starting at the Big Bang is a feast for all the senses.
Adding to this cosmic event for all ages, explore the food village with festive food stalls, take a spin on the fairground rides, and get in the party spirit with music and drinks. This is going to be a spectacular evening to thrill the whole family, with doors opening well before the show starts so you can make the most of the other attractions on offer.
Award-winning storytellers Celestial are the creative collective behind this year's Evolution drone light show spectacular, and their team of creative animators, filmmakers and tech specialists have created this magical skyward production. Yuup has teamed up with Celestial to bring two epic drone light shows to the South West and West Midlands for December 2023.
