Made for this moment
Castle Gardens, Wallace Park and the wider Balmoral Park event setting bring together different Lisburn-area audiences. We can build an original entertainment sequence around your occasion while reviewing the actual venue, viewing direction and controlled operating space. Nearby Belfast aviation and military installations remain distinct parts of that assessment.
Starbound Labs designs the show and brings the performance together. Our Spectra drones, in-house firmware, and Starbound OS software connect the creative work with the fleet and team on the ground.

Rooted in Lisburn
Local inspiration. A story made for your audience.
Lisburn’s linen heritage offers a creative reference of interlacing lines and repeated forms. For an anniversary or civic occasion, those ideas can grow into an original display. Any written or promotional content is reviewed separately under U.K. rules.
The city’s light-trail programme shows how an evening walk can bring people together. Your own aerial proposal needs a separate assessment of trees, historic surroundings, paths and launch land. We do not imply participation in the existing trail.
Wallace Park supports recreation and seasonal community events. The viewing area, public routes and everyday sports use need to fit the production plan. A park’s event history does not mean it provides a suitable separated space for a drone performance.
The Eikon Exhibition Centre and Balmoral Park provide a different scale of event campus outside central Lisburn. An aerial element needs suitable outdoor guest positions and operator-approved launch control. Indoor exhibition space is not an open-sky performance area.
For a staff reception, expressive shapes and a musical arc can create a shared final moment. The practical plan must connect indoor hospitality with outdoor viewing, while neighbouring property, access and proposed communications receive their own review.
Lisburn’s wider setting includes sensitive military interests as well as Belfast-area aviation. Landowner consent does not resolve security or airspace restrictions. We review current information against the full operating volume and event date before confirming a proposal.

Lisburn, Northern Ireland
Seasonal light events provide context, not drone permission. Trees, historic fabric and public paths may limit launch and viewing options.

Maze / Lisburn area, Northern Ireland · outside central Lisburn
Review outdoor viewing, livestock or concurrent show activity and controlled launch land with the operator.
Official venue websiteThe airspace is part of the plan
The right starting point is your exact venue, launch location, show height, and date.
We review current U.K. aeronautical information, NOTAMs, restricted airspace and aerodrome Flight Restriction Zones against the full flight area, altitude and date. Civilian and military activity, temporary restrictions and ground permissions each form part of the plan.
Review current airspace and the airport process where relevant to the exact Lisburn-area operation. A nearby-city label is not a determination of permission requirements.
Aldergrove, County Antrim · outside Lisburn
Official facility informationA separate civilian airport whose airspace and activity must be assessed for the actual proposal. NATS lists an application route for relevant operations.

Official facility informationMilitary flying activity and security requirements are distinct from civilian airport and event-land permissions.
A swarm display needs an authorisation appropriate to the operation. We review the proposed fleet, flight volume, crowd separation and operating conditions against the applicable Specific Category requirements and current CAA swarm guidance.
CAA swarm guidanceOperational authorisation and permission to use restricted airspace are separate. We check FRZ boundaries, other restrictions and the relevant aerodrome or air traffic permission process, including NATS where applicable. A NOTAM is a notice, not a flight permission.
NATS flight application guidanceLandowner consent, council event requirements and the proposed display content need their own review. CAA guidance flags aerial advertising restrictions under section 82 of the Civil Aviation Act; operational authorisation does not settle those requirements.
CAA aerial advertising guidanceCouncil park information identifies the managed gardens and opening arrangements. Discuss the proposed event and production use with the relevant manager.
Official planning guidanceLisburn & the surrounding area
Tell us about your venue, whether it’s in the city or the wider metro. We’ll look at the proposed launch space and how your audience will experience the show.
Belfast, Hillsborough, Moira and Dromore are separate places. Balmoral Park is outside the central Lisburn setting, and each property needs its own assessment.
From the first conversation to the last light
We discuss your date, venue, audience, and creative direction, then review the setting and production requirements.
Our team builds the formations, movement, lighting, and choreography. You can explore the design before the performance.
We coordinate the show setup and on-site operation, with the site and conditions reviewed before flight.
A few things you might be wondering
The booking does not establish aerial feasibility. We need an agreed outdoor audience position, suitable launch and recovery land, separation from other activities and the applicable CAA and airspace permissions. Livestock, traffic and neighbouring property may also affect the proposal.
Start by sharing the address, event date, and any venue information you have. We review the proposed launch area, audience viewing position, access, surrounding airspace, and site conditions before confirming whether a show is feasible.
We welcome enquiries for Lisburn and the surrounding area. Belfast, Hillsborough, Moira and Dromore are separate places. Balmoral Park is outside the central Lisburn setting, and each property needs its own assessment. Share the venue address, date and audience layout so we can assess the specific proposal.
We can explore shapes, colour, movement and music for an entertainment-led display. The CAA highlights restrictions on aerial advertising and other communications under section 82 of the Civil Aviation Act. Logos, QR codes and written messages need particular review; an operational authorisation alone does not establish that the content is lawful.
Pricing depends on the number of drones, creative scope, event location, travel, and production requirements. Share your plans and we’ll prepare a quote for your event.
Contact us as soon as you have a date and a possible venue. Early planning gives us time to review the location, develop the show, and coordinate the event requirements. Availability depends on your date and production needs.
Weather is part of the planning and show-day review. We discuss operating conditions and contingency arrangements with you before the event; the final decision to fly depends on conditions on the day.
