Designed once again by Scratchbuilt Productions, join Becky Kitter and over 500 young people from across Basingstoke in a colourful spectacular of movement and sound as they celebrate all things nature and the environment. Starting at 5pm on Friday 20 June, join the Mayor of Basingstoke and Deane and a merry gain of performers as they open the Festival with a bang!
Join the parade at Market Place as it moves up Church Street through the Top of the Town making its way down to the Amphitheatre at Festival Place.
Once the parade arrives at the amphitheatre, get ready for the return of the return of Autin Dance Theatre with their brand new world premiere ‘Up in the Sky!’ A unique show blending aerial dance, dynamic storytelling, and flying props to captivate audiences of all ages. A breath-taking performance not to be missed, exploring themes of resilience and hope. Witness dynamic aerial choreography and captivating storytelling on a striking 7-metre truss structure in the heart of our town centre.
From the team who brought you Eko the Giant puppet in Out of the Deep Blue and the giant Wheel that travelled through the Top of the Town in Parade: The Giant Wheel, this new show will see over 200 young people join in the opening performance.
