• Welcome to OutdoorArtsUK 

    OutdoorArtsUK is the home for performance in outdoor spaces! We support everything from street acrobats to national parades and celebrate work that exists outside buildings reaching the widest audience possible.

    From circus to carnival, from music to mela, from processions to puppetry and street dance to street theatre – if you want to see or make outdoor performances, you’re in the right place.
