UpDown Circus Festival is brought to you by Pitch’d Productions. We have a vision to create performances for a wide and diverse audience using primarily the Circus and Street Art forms. We value the experience and engagement of our audiences, and will seek new and innovative ways to achieve quality participation. We strive to support and sustain ourselves, and those we work with through good governance and best practice in all our creative and business endeavours. We aspire to support the development of the wider Circus and Street Performance sector through advocacy, education and creative development opportunities.
An annual festival offers us time to celebrate the art form that we love in the city that we cherish. Festival time is only the flowering of a team working throughout the year, and partnerships that developed through years of collaboration and trust. It’s a time artists, arts workers and audiences can come together to see new work, meet new people, and have new experiences.2026 will be the 2nd edition of UpDown Circus Festival, and the full programme will be launched in July.
