“Bloom” is a large-scale outdoor circus performance set to take over the town. It will celebrate the spirit of Bradford and its people – who we are today and who we could become tomorrow.
Taking place on the streets and in the skies of Shipley, it’s a show about connection, possibility and what we can build together – a bold and joyful expression of community and local pride.
This large-scale bespoke production for Bradford, unites local performers, community choirs, and the world-class acrobats and aerialists of Upswing, one of the UK’s leading contemporary circus companies.
Bloom premiere takes place in September in Shipley market square on Fri 26 & Sat 27 Sept. Tickets are just £2 for adults and free for children and seniors. Audio described performance on Sat 27 Sept.
