LIGHT UP CHANUKAH WITH A DRONE SHOW

Celebrate Chanukah in the sky

Chanukah greeting formed by red and blue drones

Bring the Festival of Lights into the night sky with a spectacular Chanukah Drone Show.

Created specifically for Chanukah, our 150-drone stock show combines light, music and movement to tell a story through some of the festival’s most recognisable imagery. From the menorah and dreidel to a huge illuminated Chanukah greeting, the show creates a shared moment for the whole community to experience together.

Whether you are planning a community celebration, public menorah lighting, festival or private event, it is an unforgettable way to mark Chanukah.

A Story in the Stars

Chanukah is a celebration of light, which makes the night sky an extraordinary canvas on which to tell its story.

Our Chanukah Drone Show was developed around the traditions and imagery of the festival, with drones moving seamlessly from one scene to the next as the performance unfolds to music.

Rather than simply putting a series of shapes into the sky, the animation, transitions and soundtrack work together as a complete show, creating something audiences can watch and enjoy from beginning to end.

The result is a modern spectacle built around a celebration that is all about light.

Created for Chanukah. Proven in front of an audience.

We first created our Chanukah Drone Show for a community celebration at Heaton Park in Manchester in 2022.

The 150-drone performance brought the festival into the sky above North Manchester, including a giant illuminated menorah and other Chanukah imagery, and attracted coverage from BBC News.

It also gave us something even more valuable: the opportunity to work directly with the community to make sure the story, imagery and traditions were represented properly.

It was really impressive how the team at FlightShows put together the Chanukah Drone Show for us. The concept and story was new to them, but they picked up on all the details and managed to portray it amazingly well. Eoin and the others were honest, clear and helpful as well as managing all the different hurdles that cropped up along the way in a very efficient and cordial manner. Thank you very much.

FAQ

  • Yes. For drone shows on mainland UK, our pricing includes standard transport and travel costs, so there are no surprise mileage fees added later.

    We can also deliver Chanukah Drone Shows across the rest of the UK, Europe and beyond. For islands or international locations, we will simply quote any additional travel or freight costs clearly before you book.
  • Parks, sports grounds, event sites and other large open spaces can all potentially work.

    For our stock Chanukah Drone Show, we require a total secure area of approximately 170m x 130m, including the required safety separation from the audience. The area immediately used for launching the drones needs to be suitable for safe operations, but the wider secured area can include features such as trees. If you already have a venue in mind, send us the location or a Google Maps link. We will assess it for you free of charge and let you know whether a drone show is practical.
  • The package includes the complete stock Chanukah Drone Show along with everything required for us to deliver it:

    • 150 drones
    • The complete choreographed show
    • Music
    • Sound system suitable for around 200 guests
    • Professional drone show crew
    • Transport and setup within mainland UK
    • Venue coordination
    • Aviation planning and authorisations
    • Public liability insurance
    For larger public events, we can integrate with your existing event sound system rather than supplying the standard PA package.
  • The scenes and animation in the stock Chanukah show are already designed and choreographed as a complete production, so the main show remains fixed.

    That is precisely what makes a stock show considerably less expensive than commissioning a new production from scratch. If you would like us to create different imagery, tell a particular story, incorporate an organisation or sponsor, or develop something unique for your community, we can create a bespoke Chanukah Drone Show from £29,500.
  • The soundtrack for our stock Chanukah Drone Show is fixed because the animation has been choreographed precisely to the music.

    The drones do not simply make shapes while a piece of music happens to play in the background. Movements, reveals, transitions and key moments are designed to work with the soundtrack as part of the performance. If choosing your own soundtrack is important, we can instead create a bespoke show around your chosen music. Why our stock-show soundtracks are fixed.
  • Talk to us about what you would like to achieve.

    Small personalisation options may be possible depending on the show, while anything requiring new animation, substantial changes to the existing production or completely new scenes would form part of a bespoke show. We will always explain the most cost-effective option before you commit to anything.
  • We deliberately invested in professional outdoor show drones capable of operating in the sort of weather we regularly experience in the UK.

    Our aircraft can operate in winds of up to 45 km/h and in light to moderate rain. In many cases, the weather will begin affecting audience comfort and visibility before it reaches the limits of the drones themselves. We monitor the forecast closely in the run-up to every show and will keep you informed if there is anything we are concerned about.
  • Don't assume that means a drone show is impossible.

    Many venue restrictions are written with ordinary consumer drones, photographers or unauthorised flying in mind rather than a professionally planned drone light show. We can speak directly with your venue, explain the operation, provide the appropriate documentation and work through any safety concerns with them. Send us the venue details and let us investigate.
  • Being near an airport or inside controlled airspace does not automatically prevent a drone show.

    Additional permission and coordination may be required, but FlightShows regularly handles aviation planning as part of delivering our shows. We will assess the airspace around your venue and deal with the necessary organisations and authorisations on your behalf. If you have a venue in mind, send it to us and we can check it before you book.
