Daniel Brine, Festival Director said: “It always feels like we’re up and running each year with the announcement of the first shows. While it’s only a tiny taste of what’s to come, there’s a nice representative blend of the local and the international - something that’s particularly important to our Festival. We’re also really excited to present a brand new show from the fantastic Circolombia - a show packed full of their trademark music and energetic circus skills, but one unusually created specifically for a Spiegeltent.”
