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. They’ll offer audiences a spectacular blend of interactive theatre, circus magic and a chance to imagine a hopeful future. 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.
