On The Shoulders

We are delighted to welcome back Somerset’s sensational circus company this year – Pirates of the Carabina, perform their brand-new show for 2026, On The Shoulders, a new outdoor aerial circus show celebrating the power of women to inspire, support and lift us up.

Beautiful, surprising and unlike anything else you’ll see this summer. Three multi-skilled performers blend aerial, circus, dance, puppetry, verbatim theatre and live music, performed in, on and around a spectacular giant female puppet. On The Shoulders brings humour and beauty to the real stories of women living in the South West, exploring our collective strength and intergenerational connection.

A production by Pirates of the Carabina, the award-winning creators of Flown and Pirate Taxi. Supported by Arts Council England.
