What is Liverpool fire arts festival? What’s is all about?
In 2015, Bring the Fire Project created Liverpool’s first ever Fire Arts Festival that took the city by storm. A decade on, we are ready to do it all over again, only blazing bigger & brighter.
The Liverpool Fire Arts Festival was created by the local flow and circus community to connect, learn and have fun together. Everyone is welcome. The festival is a not-for-profit event, done entirely from the love for fire arts and wanting to develop the scene in the city.

Why we need your support?
The Liverpool Fire Arts Festival is a grassroots organisation, run by the community for the community. It is a highly ambitious project that, planned and managed purely from the passion and love we have for sharing our art with everyone.
Your donations will help to cover:
Venue hire and production costs – making the festival happen
Marketing and outreach – helping us grow, reach new audiences and create sustainable opportunities for the community
Pay artists fairly – allow the amazing artists performing at our festival to keep doing what they do best
We want to provide a space for the Liverpool circus community to practice, learn and get inspired by visitors from other cities. We also want to provide opportunities for other local and regional communities to discover what we do and join in on the fun: the free circus initiatives we organise, like the Flow Project held at the Black-E every Monday evening. We want to foster and grow this community in Liverpool.
We hope you will appreciate our efforts in organising this non-for-profit festival and help us to cover the costs associated with it. Any additional funds raised will go towards sustaining community events throughout the year and ensuring the festival can become an annual event.
Thank you for supporting us!
Keep the fire burning
