Today, 1500 of our custom-made RTK drones lit up the skies of Dubai, at the spectacular #321Festival for @visitdubai. It’s surreal to think only 6 years ago we performed live for the very first time, flying just over 20 drones at the base of Mount Fuji. 💫 @WeAreAlsayegh #DSF

There are times when a @GreggsOfficial gets you through the day job, there are others when Greggs IS the day job! @Skymagicdrones smashed it out the oven this weekend, launching the Festive Bake in the skies above Newcastle. 🚀

The new work #MakingAStand commissioned by @LEEDS_2023 really inhabits the city centre to create an urban forest. Loved spending the evening with the team to celebrate its opening.

Ruth Wilson’s performance in The Second Woman at @youngvictheatre is impressive on so many levels. #TheQueue itself was an entertaining start to a very early Saturday morning with @LIFTfestival

Tonight, we brought the magic of the natural world to life in skies across the UK.🐋 Flying a total of 1000 drones above Windsor Castle, Cardiff Bay and the Eden Project, we created the largest ever multi-location #droneshow in the UK.❤️ #CoronationConcert by @bbcstudios @BBC

Really proud of the work we did as the first London Borough of Culture at @LBWFculture in 2019 and great to see the programme going from strength-to-strength with the 2025 and 2027 competition announced by @LDN_Culture @MayorofLondon
I’m delighted to announce that the London Borough of Culture will return in 2025 and 2027. It has shown us the genuine power of culture to transform people’s lives, reimagine areas, raise confidence and create civic pride. I look forward to seeing the boroughs’ bids.

Evaluation is complex but such a vital aspect of how we learn and evolve major projects. This study on @unboxed2022 is comprehensive. Yes it sets out the important big picture successes, but it also provides space for data and insight. Read in full ⬇️
Read the independent evaluation into UNBOXED, just published. It sets out the social, cultural, and economic benefits of the 10 UNBOXED commissions which took place across the four nations of the UK in 2022 https://t.co/Hqvjxi98x0 1/5
