We are thrilled to announce the UK Premiere of our latest outdoor arts and participatory show ‘Parade – The Giant Wheel‘! We have assembled a fantastic team of creatives, dancers, circus performers, designers and community artists to bring our vision to life. And now, after months of hard work and dedication, we are ready to share our newest creation with the world. 

On Saturday 24 June, at Walsall Arboretum, we invite you to join us for a moving and inspiring performance. ‘Parade – The Giant Wheel’ is a celebration of the beauty, power, and impact of people from different walks of life coming together. Our 12-foot Giant Wheel is powered by five talented street artists, a large intergenerational community cast and accompanied by live musicians.
