Yuup is curating and producing the Live Track for Brazen, Bristol's city-wide festival of technology, creativity and culture, produced by techSPARK in partnership with Bristol BID, Bristol Creative Industries and MyWorld. 

Taking place from 9–13 November 2026, Brazen brings together keynotes, panels, showcases and community events alongside a series of standout public experiences designed to bring the festival's themes to life for audiences beyond the traditional technology crowd.

Tickets for two flagship experiences, Bristol: Built by Dreamers and Haptic Yoga by Beat Blocks, are available to book now. 

Charly Patrick, Chief Operating Officer, techSPARK 

"We're thrilled to bring such an amazing line-up of immersive, unique experiences to this year's live track. Bristol: Built by Dreamers and Haptic Yoga are the kind of standout moments that make Brazen unmissable, and we can't wait for audiences to experience them.” 

Dominic Mills, Founder & CEO, Yuup

“Bristol has never been a city that waits for permission to do things differently, and Brazen is a celebration of that spirit. Through a programme of live experiences open to everyone, we’re transforming bold ideas and pioneering technology into extraordinary moments people can see, feel and share. At Yuup, we’re proud to be working with some of Bristol’s most ambitious creators, inviting audiences from across the city to experience what happens when technology and creativity collide.” 

James Hirst, Managing Director, Bristol Creative Industries (BCI)  

"We're delighted to see Beat Blocks and Holotronica become part of Brazen. These experiences showcase the powerful blend of creativity, technology and innovation that exists across our region and highlights the exceptional talent and strength of our creative industries." 

 

Bristol: Built by Dreamers 

A spectacular new family experience bringing Bristol’s history to life through holographic storytelling. It has been created by Bristol-based Holotronica, whose pioneering Hologauze technology has featured in tours and productions for Beyoncé and Lady Gaga, and formed the centrepiece of London’s 2025 New Year’s Eve celebrations. 

Staged in the stunning surroundings of St Mary Redcliffe and set to music, this 30-minute experience brings Bristol’s journey through time to life for audiences of all ages. Giant holograms of the city’s most celebrated icons, including the Clifton Suspension Bridge, Bristol Boxkite and Concorde, will rise through the church’s magnificent nave in a vivid celebration of Bristol’s history, creativity and character. 

Bristol: Built by Dreamers opens Friday 6 November and runs until Friday 13 November. 

Stuart Warren-Hill, Managing Director, Holotronica

"Bristol has been home to Holotronica since the very beginning, so there's something really special about bringing our technology back to the city that shaped us. We can't wait for local families to see the city come to life in a way they've never experienced before.”

 

Haptic Yoga by Beat Blocks

A first-of-its-kind haptic yoga experience, combining movement, music and cutting-edge haptic technology, debuts in the unique setting of The Crypt at St Nicholas Church, to create a completely new kind of wellbeing experience. 

Featuring innovative technology from Bristol-based Beat Blocks, the 45-minute sessions allow participants to physically feel music and sound as part of their yoga practice.

Sessions run from Monday 9 to Friday 13 November, from early morning into the evening.

The experience is designed for experienced yogis and regular wellbeing class attendees looking to try something new, as well as those curious about how haptic technology can transform music, movement and wellbeing. 

Kit Wardle, CEO, Beat Blocks

"We built Beat Blocks so people could feel music, not just hear it. Haptic Yoga is one of the most exciting ways we've seen that come to life. We designed our haptic yoga decks especially for this experience, and bringing them to a space like the Crypt at St Nicholas Church gives people a completely new way to connect with music and movement. We can't wait to see how people respond."

Sarah Fyson, Host, Moments of Flow

“As a somatic coach and yoga practitioner, I am always seeking new ways to help people release old patterns, inhabit their bodies and feel inspired. Haptic technology adds a profound new dimension to this work. For this special collaboration we have custom designed a series of 45-minute immersive sound and movement sessions. Being able to physically feel the music and vibrations through your body completely transform the relationship between movement and sound. I can’t wait to guide you through this truly unique somatic journey.” 

Tickets for Bristol: Built by Dreamers and Haptic Yoga by Beat Blocks are on sale now.
