Bicycle Ballet @ So Festival, Skegness

Between 23 June and 1 July, SO Festival 2012 transformed Lincolnshire’s coastal district of East Lindsey into an international arts venue with spectacular visual art, street theatre, world-class performers and dance acts, amongst which  featured Bicycle Ballet.
