Here is the itinerary for the day:

  • Swing, Beats ‘n’ Grooves (12pm-1.30pm)

Festival vibes at the ready and join the party. An energising, vibrant and joyous session featuring aerial circus, live music by Howard Haigh, stilts, Grandma Griggly, Carol May Dance Academy, aerial dance by Lois Grinstead and an Afro-Brazilian workshop led by Louise Gibbons. 

  • Shuffle ‘n’ Skip (1.45pm-3.30pm)

Bringing the passion and excitement of all things folk. Featuring charismatic swing-folk music by the renowned Delightful Squalor, Lancashire’s very own dance clog/Appalacian flatfoot duo The Manakin Birds, Preston People’s Choir and a unique folk workshop reimagined for social distancing! Not forgetting a speciality dance aerial performance by Lois Grinstead.

  • Oracle (7pm-8pm) – 16+

Gripped as we are by current forces of nature, Oracle is a show that embraces the celestial dance of unpredictability.  Set to a backdrop of fresh club beats, the immersive kinetic experience brings to life the stories of the Tarot, reminding us of our inherent wisdom, strength and ability to ride storms… if we listen to the winds around us.”
