Free, family-friendly climate circus performances in Yorkshire

Tuesday 27 May 2025

This summer, Contact joins forces with climate and arts partners to bring a series of free, family-friendly climate circus performances to outdoor venues across Yorkshire.

The immersive, nature-based theatre events will take place throughout the summer, starting 15 June in Keighley  and 21 and 22 June in York. They’ll offer audiences a spectacular blend of interactive theatre, circus magic and a chance to imagine a hopeful future. Building on our mission to support families with the rising cost of energy, and other impacts of climate change, the events will fuse performance and opportunities to take part in positive conversations. Audiences will move through woodland clearings and natural environments transformed into enchanted worlds.

We’re thrilled to be part of bringing this magical, climate-focused circus experience to Yorkshire families
