Giant animal kingdom drone show WILD to make central London debut at Lord's Cricket Ground this winter

Dazzling displays of beloved animals will light up Lord's Cricket Ground for the first time this November, as a renowned drone show arrives at the Home of Cricket.

Lord's will be transformed into a spectacular animal kingdom this winter as WILD: The Drone Light Show makes its central London debut on Saturday 21 November. The landmark event will mark London's first feature-length drone light show and the first event of its kind to be staged at the Home of Cricket.

The audience at this spectacular event will look skywards as WILD takes them on a journey through four extraordinary worlds: desert, ocean, arctic and jungle.

Created by Britain's Got Talent Series 19 runners-up Celestial and produced by experience company Yuup, WILD combines spectacular drone choreography with cinematic music for an immersive experience perfect for families, wildlife lovers and anyone who enjoys a spectacular night out. Unlike traditional firework displays, the show contains no loud bangs, making it quieter for audiences while reducing disruption for pets and wildlife. 

The show is being staged with permissions from the relevant authorities as well as the support of the local Lord's Community Group. Already a hit with audiences, WILD has attracted more than 15,000 audience reviews with an average rating of 4.9 stars out of 5 since launching in 2025.

Lord's is the latest addition to a nationwide tour which includes also includes Edgbaston, Hove, Trent Bridge, Bristol and the Utilita Bowl. Tickets for the show at Lord's go on general sale on Tuesday 15 September, but audiences can join the waitlist here. Please visit www.wilddroneshow.com for further information and to sign up for priority access.

Launched in 2015, WILD follows a series of successful touring drone shows from Yuup and Celestial, including A Christmas Carol and Evolution. Since launching the UK's first ticketed touring drone light shows in 2023, the partnership has welcomed more than 200,000 visitors across the country.
 

Andy Muggleton, MCC Commercial Director, said: "We're delighted to welcome WILD to Lord's this winter for what will be a landmark first in the Ground's history. Lord's has been the stage for unforgettable sporting moments for more than 200 years, but audiences have never seen it quite like this. To watch hundreds of drones transform the skies above the Ground into a giant animal kingdom promises to be a very special night."

Dominic Mills, Founder of Yuup, said: "Lord's is a British icon, so there's something particularly exciting about bringing one of the newest forms of live entertainment to a venue with more than two centuries of history.

"Drone shows allow us to tell stories on a scale that simply wasn't possible before. With WILD, the night sky becomes our stage, and the animals become our characters. To see that unfold above Lord's, right in the heart of London, will be a genuinely special experience."

"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. That inspired a journey across deserts, oceans, arctic worlds and jungles, brought vividly to life in the night sky - from penguins to polar bears."

John Partridge, Director of Celestial, said: "We've always seen drones as one part of a much bigger live experience. WILD brings together drones, lighting, special effect and audio to create a complete piece of live theatre. Bringing that to Lord's, one of London's most iconic venues, and doing something there that hasn't been done before is really exciting for us. We had an incredible amount of support during our time on Britain's Got Talent, which helped us become runners-up, and it would be lovely to see some of those people at Lord's and give them the chance to experience what we do in person."

Ticket holders will be seated at the Nursery End of the Ground, looking across the Main Ground to the show itself, which will be staged at the Pavilion End (which will be out of bounds for the evening). The Ground will be open to ticket-holders from 16.30, with the performance beginning after dark at 18.00, making it perfect for a family audience.

Visitors will be able to enjoy a pre-show food village, where a wide selection of food and drinks will be available before the performance begins. Premium tickets and hospitality options will also be available.
