Circus in St. Paul’s

Saturday 2 May, 10am – 4pm

Join us in Portland Square this Early May Bank Holiday weekend for a fantastic, diaspora-led day of free, family friendly activities.

We’ll be filling the square outside our St. Paul’s Church venue with joy and creativity. With participatory circus and performance workshops and shows, and Caribbean food, music and more – everyone is welcome to come along, take part and enjoy the lively, celebratory atmosphere. Check back soon for more information and timings for the day.

Circus in St. Paul’s is presented as part of Diverse Artist Network’s DIASPORA! Festival. The day is being organised in partnership with Aid Box Community and will be led by, with and for people for Bristol’s wider diaspora community.

Circus in St. Paul’s is kindly supported by Quartet Community Foundation and John James Bristol Foundation.
