IF: Milton Keynes International Festival at Xscape

Celebrating a different side of Milton Keynes

IF: Milton Keynes International Festival is coming to Xscape!

The Festival is once again returning to Milton Keynes for 10 amazing days of events and activities from Friday 28th - Sunday 27th July, complete with a bumper programme of music, circus, spectacular outdoor events and free family activities.

This year, Xscape is thrilled to be a part of two spectacular events as part of the Festival. Join us on Friday 18th July as the Festival gets underway with a spectacular opening night parade starting right here at Xscape as well as on Sunday 27th July for a spectacle to delight the whole family. 

Find out more about each of these events below:

• Friday 18 July – This year's spectacle gets off to an electrifying start as renowned Spanish theatre company Deabru Beltzak kicks off proceedings with a mesmerising pyrotechnic and drumming procession that ends with a spectacular stage show finale! The procession starts from right here at Xscape at 9.45pm – so be sure to arrive early to grab the best view!
• Sunday 27th July – This fantastic event follows the journey of one man’s quest to put on his clothes, eat biscuits... and unicycle across a tight wire. Sam Goodburn will show off his skills with a uniquely funny show as he puts on two fantastic performances at Xscape. Catch Sam Goodburn: Wire Attire at 2pm and 4pm!

These FREE events are set to be incredible, so don't miss out - no ticket required, just come on down and let us entertain you!
