Carnyville
Ok this one is a hard one to describe… Imagine a deserted fire station in the centre of Bristol with a large courtyard in the middle. It had one of those fire towers for practicing putting out fires, and it has wrought iron balconies around the walls.
Basically, a circus group had made the whole area into a stage set village complete with sinister shops, a job centre plus and it’s own currency. All of the public were dressed up so it was impossible to tell who was a performer and who wasn’t. There was a whole back story too. The citizens of carnyville were forbidden from having fun but gradually throughout the evening the performers started to break free. And there was acrobatics on the sides of buildings, tightrope walking, fire juggling and a full circus stage show. Never seen anything like it – absolutely incredible!
