IN PICTURES: Bridlington seafront comes alive with spectacular Freedom Festival performances

Bridlington's seafront became a stage for spectacular circus and street performances as Hull's Freedom Festival brought its touring programme to the town.

Visitors were treated to a day of free outdoor entertainment when Freedom On Tour arrived at Bridlington Spa on Friday, September 4.

The event brought a selection of performers from this year's Freedom Festival to the Yorkshire coast.

Among the acts featured in Bridlington were Spinsane, Acrobot, The World Wanderer, Beyond Fushion and Lilliput.

The tour is part of Freedom Festival Arts Trust's work to take outdoor arts beyond Hull and make performances accessible to audiences across the region.

Known for bringing Hull City Centre to life with striking installations, large-scale street theatre and thought-provoking performance, Freedom Festival invites local audiences to gather, reflect and connect through unique entertainment, creativity and shared humanity.
