Entitled Evolution, the event is a celebration of the living world featuring hundreds of drones in the night sky, fusing cutting-edge technology and creativity to explore the story of life on Earth.
The narrated story features a retelling of the Big Bang and birth of the universe, the age of the dinosaurs and the dawning of modern humans.
The event is delivered by Celestial (creators of drone light shows for brands across the globe), and Yuup (the local experiences company).
John Hopkins, Celestial Co-founder & Chief Creative Officer comments: “Evolution has been three years in the making. This is so much more than a drone light show, it’s an experience with stadium scale, created to bring audiences together using a new medium to tell the story of time”.
Dominic Mills, Founder & CEO of Yuup adds: “We’re hugely excited to be partnering with Celestial to bring this unique spectacle to the people of Nottingham and at such an epic scale. Our pilot shows in December were attended by 40,000 people and now the show is even bigger and better. Evolution will offer a brand-new source of entertainment unlike anything anyone has ever seen before in Nottingham, encouraging people to look up and reconnect with the world”.
"Amazing show. Everyone around us was absolutely stunned by the incredibly beautiful spectacle of hundreds of drones come to life. They really felt alive and organic the way they moved. Quite extraordinary.”
Martin Weitz, who attended Evolution in Bristol
Michael Temple, Commercial Director at Trent Bridge, said: “Hosting the first ever major drone show in Nottinghamshire at Trent Bridge is an honour and a venture we are thrilled to be a part of. As well as hosting first-class and international cricket, we’re always looking to broaden what we can deliver at Trent Bridge, and we relish the opportunity to be part of such an innovative concept. We’re very much looking forward to welcoming as many people as possible to enjoy what promises to be a true spectacle.”
Gates will open at 7pm on 19 April, with food and drink outlets serving a variety of treats while a live DJ plays ahead of the show which starts at 9pm.
