As we celebrated Bright & Wild this weekend, we know this has been a particularly difficult week for those who experience racism.

At Lyra, we stand with our global majority artists, participants, staff and audiences.

We are proud of the diversity of our community and are committed to making this a space where everyone feels safe, welcome and able to be themselves.

We look forward to welcoming you to Lyra.

The writing’s on the wall 🎨 Highlights from Day 2 of Bright & Wild Festival, full of Fae folk, Freddos, dancing and disruption, dressing up, bus tours, sour sweets, party after party and still cries for ONE MORE TUNE at the end of the day 🎤
Take Up Space was SOLD OUT across both days of the festival - we were sad to turn people away but happy to announce there’s still a chance to see Take Up Space next week in town at Capital Theatre’s on the 18th of June.
Big thanks to all our guests, performers, panelists and sponsors who made this weekend possible.
