Coincidentally the show, called Evolution, taking place at Wolverhampton Racecourse, is due to happen at the same time as the Geminids meteor shower.

Visible around the world, they can be seen with the naked eye.

In perfect conditions, viewers may spot 100 to 120 meteors per hour.

The show uses state-of-the-art drone light technology, accompanied by Hollywood quality soundtrack and narration as it takes audiences through a cosmic journey of time and space.

Starting with the big bang, attendees can expect to be transported through the origins of conscious life on Earth – from the humble beginnings of single-cell organisms to the awe-inspiring reign of the dinosaurs, culminating in a celebration of the diverse tapestry of life today.
