Light-up drones are set to take to the sky in a new light show this Christmas.

Dozens of flying drones will create illuminated shapes in the sky as part of a display telling the story of A Christmas Carol.

The show will be narrated by former Little Britain and The Great British Bake Off star Matt Lucas.

Sussex County Cricket Ground will host two shows on December 14, one at 5.30pm and one at 9pm, with the drones taking to the skies above the pitch.

Each show will last for 45 minutes and the event will also include festive food, drinks and music.

The display will tell the story of Charles Dickens' classic festive tale.

Tickets for the event begin at £15 per adult to stand and £24 for seated areas.
