Two Weeks To Go Until Eastleigh Unwrapped 2018; What Can You Expect?

It's just two weeks to go until Eastleigh Unwrapped returns for a sixth year on Saturday 23rd June.

Produced by The Point, the free outdoor arts festival has an accessible programme of circus, theatre for families and interactive workshops for young people. Bringing the best UK and international companies and performers to the heart of the Borough, the event is great fun for families and friends alike.

This year the event welcomes back firm favourites Handmade Theatre with beautiful new show Too Many Cooks, and there's a chance to dance in the street with Glass House's Time Machine Disco. Get to grips with the fundamentals of drumming at the Junk Jam Workshop, which turns everyday objects into instruments, and learn juggling, plate spinning and more with Top Banana Circus.

This year's festival is headlined by Belgian company Sur Mesure with the spectacular Fillage; a fantastic combination of live music and impressive acrobatics. Don't miss roaming theatre piece Urban Astronaut by Highly Sprung as it journeys through the town centre, and join us in celebrating 250 years of circus at Le Flea (Du Cirque), which is guaranteed to delight all ages.

You can also peruse handmade crafts by local designer-makers at The Sorting Office's annual Summer Open Studios, which is this year curated by Etsy Southampton.

Eastleigh Unwrapped 2018 is sponsored by Marks & Spencer, Eastleigh and supported by Arts Council England.
