Shipley is set to burst into Bloom this September – with a magical contemporary circus spectacle taking over the heart of the town.
Upswing is working with Bradford (City of Culture 2025) to create a major spectacle set to burst Shipley into bloom.
Bloom is a large-scale outdoor circus performance celebrating the spirit of
Bradford and its people – who we are today and who we could become tomorrow.
Taking place on the streets and in the skies of Shipley, it’s a show about connection,
possibility and what we can build together – a bold and joyful expression of
community and local pride.
This large-scale bespoke production for Bradford, unites local performers, community choirs, and the world-class acrobats and aerialists of Upswing.

Fri 26 – Sat 27 Sept, 7.30pm – Shipley Market Square
