Line-up

This year’s festival launches with an open air show from the French aerial acrobats of CirkVOST, BoO who will enthrall you as they fly through the air in a unique 15-metre high scenic structure made of 368 Bamboo sticks.

Supported by a 1,000 strong community carnival and a star-studded Fringe, SIRF 2015 promises its family-friendly entertainment will, once again, prove worthy of the title 'Best Cultural Event in the North East'.

The festival claims to incorporate an eclectic programme of music and other arts and features a 10,000 capacity outdoor main stage and a programme that takes place at a range of other venues.
