The first drone display due to take place as part of the Scarborough Lights festival has been hit by the poor weather conditions on the Yorkshire Coast.
The display was due to take place at Scarborough Castle this evening. It's the first of five planned displays over the coming days.
In an update on Wednesday evening the event organisers said:
"We regret to announce that this evening’s (Wednesday 19th Nov) Drone Display has been cancelled due to weather conditions.
All ticket holders will shortly receive an email outlining their options.With an amber weather warning in place for Scarborough tomorrow (Thursday 20th), we will continue to monitor conditions closely and will provide an update on tomorrow’s display in due course.
Thank you for your understanding."
The brand new display was specially commissioned for Scarborough Lights, promising "an unforgettable evening that merges artistry and cutting-edge technology".
Produced by Flight Shows, one of the UK’s leading drone display companies, the show takes attendees on a journey around the town with Thomasin Farrer and local schoolchildren. The narrative is particularly poignant as it approaches Scarborough’s 400th anniversary as the UK’s first seaside resort.
Flight Shows, who are producing the display, have previously been involved in the Scarborough Lights 2023 event, they have invested heavily in technology suited to the UK's unpredictable weather, enabling the drones to safely operate in winds of up to 45 km/h and light rain. However, in advance of the shows the the event organisers did remind visitors that the display is subject to suitable weather conditions adding:
"shows may be cancelled at short notice. Should an evening be cancelled, attendees may be able to transfer their tickets to another evening or to provisional dates scheduled for the 24th and 25th November, subject to availability."
