Story

The show is designed and delivered by local company Celestial who, since their last Frome display (the first with a live audience), has gone from strength to strength delivering super-premium shows all over the world for some of the biggest brands, including Eurovision, London New Year’s Eve and many more. The company, based in Frome, specialises in aerial storytelling, performed by hundreds of brightly coloured drone lights in the night sky. The display will bring some unseen creative magic to really embed drones as the new, eco-friendly firework display. As a prelude to the show, there will be entertainment including face painting and attractions, as well as an excellent selection of local food concessions. All of which will help set the atmospheric scene for the main act, an exciting showcase drone display.

Mayor Philip Campagna said “Following our last drone collaboration the cry often goes up on various forums – what were those lights? Is it a UFO, is it plane? We are delighted to confirm that this time no, it is in fact a fantastic drone spectacular launched by Celestial to replace fireworks this year for Frome residents. All we ask is that Frome residents really get behind this and help us raise money with Rotary in Frome for excellent causes.

It is Celestial’s ‘thank you’ to Frome and we hope our community enjoys it.”
