Epic-scale drone light show Evolution comes to Nottingham
A vast drone light show is set to tell the greatest story of all time.
Hundreds of drones will take to the sky over Trent Bridge, Nottingham for one night only on Friday, April 19.
The show, Evolution, kicked off its 2024 tour following sell-out shows at the end of last year.
Audiences will see the very latest in creative entertainment as hundreds of state-of-the-art drones take the night sky to tell the story of Evolution, fusing cutting-edge technology and creative storytelling.
The narrated show, brought to the East Midlands by Yuup and Celestial, starts with the Big Bang, before journeying into the remarkable origins of conscious life on Earth.
From single-cell organisms to awe-inspiring dinosaurs and the dawning of modern humans, Evolution is a homage to the past, celebration of the present and glimpse into the future
Both Yuup and Celestial operate social impact business models, and in Nottingham, the Evolution team are working with The Barnaby Webber Foundation and The Trent Bridge Community Trust as official charity partners to help raise funds for the charities.
There will be multiple donation points set up for attendees to donate throughout the night and the host will introduce the charity partners and their work in the community.
The Barnaby Webber Foundation aims to provide support for and inclusion of young people who are facing life challenges, as well as supporting grassroots cricket clubs. The Trent Bridge Community Trust’s mission is to provide a sporting chance to disadvantaged people in Nottinghamshire, breaking down barriers and raising aspirations for those in need countywide.
Dominic Mills, founder and cheif executive of Yuup said: “At the core of Yuup’s business model is the goal of creating positive social impact for the communities where we operate, so being able to support local initiatives is very important to us. We’re proud to be raising funds and awareness for the Barnaby Webber Foundation and The Trent Bridge Community Trust and hope that this can make a difference to young people in Nottinghamshire and further afield.
Emma Webber, spokesperson at the Barnaby Webber Foundation added: “We’re happy that as an official charity partner for Evolution Nottingham, we can continue to raise awareness of the work we want to be doing at the foundation and raise much-needed funds to support this.”
Mandy Wright, head of community and development for Trent Bridge Community Trust, said: “We’re delighted to be an official charity partner for Evolution Nottingham, as we continue to strive to provide a sporting chance to more young people in our local area. Fundraising ensures that our schemes continue to prosper and have the utmost impact in the local community.”
The event, which takes place from 7pm, will also have food and drink outlets and a live DJ playing ahead of the show, which starts at 9pm.
