Featuring captivating puppetry, exquisite non-verbal storytelling, and spellbinding original folk music. Come into the woods and explore your wild side with Yara!

    Swing from Paris have been delighting audiences for over 15 years with their Parisian-flavoured jazz and gypsy swing: from major jazz festivals including the Django Reinhardt Festival, to the BBC’s Hairy Bikers and even the opening of the award-winning Gloucester Services!

    Performing on violin, guitars and double bass, the quartet play a range of popular swing classics inspired by Gershwin, Edith Piaf, Django Reinhardt, Stéphane Grappelli and the master of tango, Astor Piazzolla, amongst others.

    Expect a variety of repertoire, interspersed with humour, storytelling and historical context that brings the music to life.
