It’s the first time something like this has happened outside London, and we’re sure it won’t be the last. Come down and join the celebrations.

The annual free festival brings amazing performances, fantastical installations, pop up experiences and new commissions from regional, national and international companies to the streets, squares, shopping centres and even the sky above the city, from Friday 23 to Monday 26 August.
