Spirit is a free street theatre show which takes place every winter in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire. The
2012 show will take place on Friday 24th February, starting at 7.30pm.
This year's Spirit event, called "Peixos", will once again feature the fantastic mechanical
animals of Spanish performers Sarruga, who wowed audiences with their fire-breathing dragons
two years ago.
This water-themed spectacle features magical shoals of fish, jellyfish, whales and sharks.
Spectators will follow a procession of underwater discovery which leads to a thrilling
climax with the appearance of a rather menacing shark - complete with snapping jaws and
fearsome teeth!
The procession starts at 7.30pm on Longcauseway in front of the Town Hall. It will follow Crackenedge Lane and turn left onto Whitehall Way, behind the back of the market, before turning left along Northgate. It then returns through Market Place to the Town Hall for the finale and fireworks.
Free event parking is available at Dewsbury Retail Park on Railway Street from 6pm, though we do encourage you to use public transport wherever possible.
Spirit is a popular event and we're expecting a big turnout, so please take extra care of young children.
