CHANGE OF DATE - SUNDAY 30TH NOVEMBER Spectacular Drone Light Show ‘Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer’

 

Event Date: 30/11/2025

Unfortunately, due to poor weather conditions Lumina Sky Theatre will be postponing their Rudolph Drone Light Show to Sunday 30th November (instead of Saturday 29th November).

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer: The Drone Light Show is coming to the South of England Showground in Ardingly, West Sussex on Sunday 30th November. Produced by Lumina Drones, the innovators behind the hit Space Safari drone light series, this spectacular experience invites families to witness the heart-warming tale of Rudolph come to life via a mesmerising swarm of 600 LED drones, choreographed to a rich, cinematic score of all new original songs. Blending classic inspiration with cutting-edge technology, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer: The Drone Light Show is set to be an unforgettable holiday experience.

Set against the night sky, state-of-the-art drones will create a moving canvas of characters from the classic Christmas story including, Rudolph, the Abominable Snow Monster and of course, Santa himself, while epic-scale narration guides audiences through every twist of the timeless story.

First broadcast in the USA in 1964 and a cherished seasonal tradition ever since, Rudolph’s journey from outsider to Christmas saviour has not been seen on UK screens since 2005. Now, families can rediscover the power of acceptance and the magic of difference in a whole new light.

Before the main drone show, guests can explore a festive winter village complete with fairground rides, Santa’s Grotto, gaming stalls, face painting, and a selection of food vendors serving up savoury, sweet treats and hot drinks.

Show creators, Lumina Drones, is one of only two companies globally who deliver drone-theatre experiences, telling legendary tales with the awe of drone light entertainment to a wider audience. Their vision is to change the way people unite for live experiences and provide an alternative to fireworks, creating a sustainable, eco-friendly form of aerial entertainment that doesn’t scare or harm wildlife, making it dog friendly too.

Whether its toddlers seeing Rudolph for the first time or grandparents reliving childhood memories, this is the ultimate multi-sensory celebration of holiday wonder.
