Stockton International Riverside Festival Stockton International Riverside Festival

Stockton International Riverside Festival

SIRF15 has everything you would expect – four days packed with street theatre, circus, dance and music but this year it will also celebrate the imaginative and bold redevelopment of the town centre.

Inspired by a story commissioned from Sara Maitland about how Stockton became a festival town, Instant Light, will be the main focus of SIRF15, presented in episodes over the full weekend it will bring diversity, community spirit, love and a real sense of place.

You’ll see throughout the programme that they've marked the shows that have been inspired by the Instant Light story with an Instant Light icon – why not follow the story through the collection of shows
