Bollywood… to a live soundtrack of fiddle & beat boxing – this is Folk and Street Dance like you’ve never seen it before!

WARRINGTON: RUBBER STAMPED 

Artist and Workshop Facilitator Sam Selley invites participants to collaborate

on a large-scale piece exploring what community, and specifically what

belonging to a community within Warrington, means to them.

Participants will create stamp(s) using foam and/or lino, and will receive

guidance and advice throughout the workshop on how to safely use lino

tools, and on techniques they may want to try out.

Foam will also be available to make stamps with, so that all ages

and abilities are able to participate.  

 

TALE TRADERS 
By Story Stitchers 

Step right up to the Tale Traders Story Stall, a magical table top

story swap bursting with upcycled wonders, each whispering a tale. 

Prepare to be enchanted by stories that ignite a spark in you to spin

your very own legendary yarn. Crafted with love by the fine folks of

Warrington, dive in to honour your champions, craft bold adventures and

celebrate the objects you love. 
 

 

BACHELORS OF PARADISE 

A comedic stilt walkabout about Birds of Paradise and their quest for love.

Throughout the day, see these creatures flexing their wings,

preening themselves and busting out dance moves. 

​

 

THE BIRDCAGE STAGE  

A beautiful giant golden birdcage structure will fill the park with a

host of magical entertainment, circus and music, as well as

showcasing young talent from the Warrington area. 

Follow an acrobatic white rabbit on a circus adventure as costumed

characters swing, fly and climb the gilded structure. 

Journey Down the Rabbit Hole as The Birdcage becomes the stage for

local artists and musicians specially selected by Young Producers in a

celebration of imagination and young talent. 

Get involved and create your own bird head dress and come and

shake your tail feather for the Birdy Disco Finale 

Sit back, relax and be entertained, with an action-packed day full

of music, circus and dancing. 

 

EVERYWHERE’S A BEACH 
Hikapee 

Join us for a day at the beach unlike any other in this high

energy, circus theatre show! 

Perfect for the whole family, Everywhere’s a Beach is a charmingly

ridiculous performance, taking place on a giant revolving beach parasol! 

This dynamic, dizzying and downright daft show

will leave you dancing with delight! 

You’ll be swept away as this show embraces everything we love about

the beach. Our spinning parasol creates the perfect setting

for our eccentric beach loving characters. 

Watch as their world collides with yours, as sophistication turns to chaos in this aerial circus performance.
