Celestial is a British creative tech company, with a recognised reputation as one of the top drone show companies[1] in the world. They deliver premium designs for brands including Eurovision, Amazon Prime Video, London New Year’s Eve, Puma and many more. Celestial specialises in drone art, live drone shows and drone film production, and offers full-service drone light show design and production, creating visually immersive experiences using cutting-edge technology. They deliver their services globally, with the aim to ‘’unite people through a shared sense of wonder’’.
Celestial is founded on strong ethical values that strike a balance between people, the planet and profit. The company believes that drone art has enormous potential as a force for good in the world, offering a safe and carbon-neutral alternative to traditional fireworks. Fireworks displays have been increasingly having a negative impact on animals and the environment[2]. RSPCA studies show 45% of dogs show signs of fear and distress caused by sudden loud noises. A survey has also recorded 79% of horses showing signs of anxiousness and in many cases, animals can cause themselves physical injury. PTSD UK[3] states that those with PTSD from violence or war-related experiences can also be highly affected.
