WELCOME TO PAALLAM INTERNATIONAL SPIRITFEST’26

AN AWARD-WINNING INTERNATIONAL OUTDOOR DANCE & MOVEMENT ARTS FESTIVAL

Spirit Fest brings exceptional dance and movement artists from across the world to the heart of Wrexham, creating powerful outdoor performance experiences that are free and accessible to all. Produced by Paallam Arts, the festival transforms public spaces into open stages for outdoor dance, physical theatre, circus performance, and traditional movement practices — connecting artists, communities, and audiences through high-quality live performance.

More than a festival, Spirit Fest is a shared public experience where movement transcends borders, bringing people together through creativity, rhythm, and human connection.

Spirit Fest continues to grow as a space where artists, audiences, and communities come together through the shared experience of dance and movement.

As the festival evolves, so does the community around it. The audiences who return each year are a vital part of Spirit Fest and the journey we are building together.

We remain committed to bringing exceptional movement artists and distinctive performances to Wrexham — creating opportunities for audiences to experience inspiring work rarely seen outside major international festivals. At the same time, we hope to encourage younger generations to explore dance and movement as powerful forms of creativity, expression, and connection.

We look forward to welcoming you to Spirit Fest ’26 and sharing another unforgettable celebration of movement, creativity, and community.
