Whirligig Festival of Outdoor Arts 2026

Over Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th June, Weston town centre was transformed into a bustling hub of international circus and outdoor arts, proving that even a mighty wet weekend in Weston can be a mighty memorable one.

The weekend served as a brilliant reminder of how outdoor arts can bring a community together and by the time the final performances wrapped up at 6pm on Sunday evening, the packed crowds had thoroughly soaked up every minute of the festival, fully immersing themselves in a weekend packed with high jinx and moments of awe.
