"Sell out warning! Breathtaking tree-top acrobatics and 25 person choirs combine for the flagship outdoor event of the Circus City festival. An essential, mystical all-ages extravaganza in a reclaimed Victorian arboretum 30 mins from Bristol."

A event on Friday 6th October. The event starts at 19:00.
Let your heart soar amongst the mighty cathedral of the forest, with an evening of breathtaking aerial dance and euphoric choral performance from Whispering Woods and the Murmuration Choir.
Wrap up with a warm drink and watch aerialists and acrobats move amongst the branches against the soundtrack of Bristol’s 25 voiced, contemporary choir performing 8-part vocal harmony, soundscape, effects and percussion.
A breathtaking, immersive piece for all ages, staged in an arboretum reclaimed from abandonment, The Shape of Belonging holds a space to disconnect from the digital and to listen deeply to the earth, to each other and to ourselves.
The Sunday matinee performance will have a slightly different format, instead of the Murmuration Choir we will have storytelling by Sarah Mooney in order to appeal to a younger audience.

What we love about The Shape of Belonging:
Song, fire and tree dancing! Go if you like aerial circus, harmonies, hot chocolate and wrapping up with your family and friends for adventures in the woods.
