A new date has been added for a drone light show that will illuminate the night sky.

Wild: The Drone Light Show will take place at Trinity Park in Ipswich on Friday, November 27, following "popular demand" for the original show scheduled on Saturday, November 28.

Dominic Mills, founder of Yuup, the producer of the show, said: "With WILD, we set out to capture the wonder of the natural world and put audiences at the heart of it.

"When we asked our audiences what they most wanted to see in a drone show, the answer was clear: the animal kingdom."

Created by Celestial, drone pioneers and runners-up on Britain’s Got Talent Series 19, the show features hundreds of illuminated drones forming animals across four themed worlds: desert, ocean, arctic, and jungle.

The 40-minute performance will begin at 8pm and includes cinematic music alongside the visuals.

Organisers describe the show as an environmentally friendly and pet-friendly alternative to traditional fireworks.

The display will be free of loud bangs, helping to reduce disruption to pets and wildlife.

John Partridge, director of Celestial, said he hopes the show "inspires people of all ages to look up, dream bigger and experience something truly unforgettable together."

Visitors will also have access to a pre-show event village offering food, drinks, and entertainment.
