Prepare for an electrifying August Bank Holiday weekend with your friends and family as our annual FREE festival of arts and performance, The Big Feast returns to the streets of Stoke-on-Trent City Centre.
With the most jam-packed programme yet including not one, but two UK premieres, we’re unleashing some seriously inspiring and entertaining acts created by artists from Stoke-on-Trent, the UK and the world onto the streets for your delight.
From mesmerising juggling that has wowed global audiences and hilarious bicycle-powered musicals, to gentle puppetry and circus to get you thinking and wild marching bands parading musical magic. There’s something for little kids, big kids, teenagers and Nanna too. Plus there’ll be opportunity to get stuck in, with group dancing at the brand new Piccadilly Stage and drop-in graffiti sessions at The Big Feast Graff Jam. And, as ever, it’s all FREE.
So get Friday 23 – Saturday 24 August on that calendar and join us to feast on some unforgettable entertainment.
