Following hugely successful sell-out drone light shows in Bristol, Cardiff, and at Trent Bridge, Yuup and Celestial are bringing a festive show to audiences this winter.

The event is suitable for families and individuals of all ages to enjoy, with those in attendance witnessing an introduction to the state-of-the-art drone technology before experiencing the main drone performance.

John Hopkins, Celestial’s Founder & CEO comments: “A Christmas Carol is a beloved tale that has been endlessly retold across various genres. This time, it is uniquely presented through drone art, elevating it beyond a traditional drone light show to an epic, stadium-scale experience. This innovative artistic medium brings audiences together through a shared sense of wonder to celebrate a universal story of human transformation.”

Dominic Mills, Founder & CEO of Yuup adds: “Being able to partner with Celestial to bring this unique second show to Nottingham is hugely exciting. A Christmas Carol is a fresh take on the classic story, and it’s going to be a brilliant festive experience for all to enjoy.”

With this show being held in December, we'll be able to begin the light show at a much earlier time of day, and we're sure it will make for compelling viewing for visitors of all ages, from young children to grown-up event-goers.”
