Joining some of the biggest names in the UK outdoor arts and carnival scene, Cirque Bijou, the Bristol-based contemporary circus and street theatre company will be taking part in the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Pageant.
The event will be held in London on 5th June to celebrate 70 years of the Queen’s reign and is expected to have all the excitement and spectacle of an international carnival.
This week, the Bristol-based performance company opened up its doors to the dress rehearsals and we took a sneak peek inside at what people can expect from the highly-awaited date.
So, from mountain bikes jumping over Land Rover Defenders and aerial artists swinging through the air, to hip hop dance crew The Steppaz getting their groove on and five-year-olds taking to the stage, let’s delve into what you’ll be able to see come June.
