Shepton Mallet will host a jaw-dropping aerial show next month as 600 drones take to the sky for a night of storytelling, music and lights.

The Space Safari Drone Light Show lands at the Bath and West Showground on Saturday, 14 March 2026, promising an out-of-this-world experience for all ages.

The high-tech display features hundreds of synchronised drones creating stunning animations in the night sky, backed by a powerful soundtrack and narration from BAFTA-winning TV presenter Michaela Strachan.

Organisers say the show will offer "cinematic storytelling in the sky" — with a wanderlust tale of bravery and adventure told through immersive visuals and sound.

Alongside the main show, visitors can enjoy:

• Fairground rides

• Face painting

• Street food stalls
