the leeds pageant

Commissioned by the Leeds Church Institute and the Leeds Parish Church, Pointed Arrow threw their creative know-how into the mixing pot to create this epic and anarchic community-driven take on a ‘Medieval Pageant Play’.

Charting the history of Leeds from its creation to a hopeful future, over 100 volunteers from different backgrounds, geographically, socially and spiritually, with an age range of 8 – 80, came together for Leeds City Councils Flagship event ‘Light Night’. Featuring giant puppets, home grown modern and medieval music, eight languages, stilts, masks, angels, lasers, and a terrifyingly big PA system, the grade 1 registered building of the Leeds Parish church exploded into carnivalesque celebration.
