Something exciting is coming to Bristol this November.
We’re thrilled to announce Brazen Live Track, a new programme of one-off experiences created by Yuup as part of Brazen, Bristol’s city-wide festival of technology, creativity and culture.
Taking place from 9–13 November 2026, Brazen is produced by techSPARK in partnership with Bristol BID, bringing together some of the city’s brightest ideas, businesses and creative minds. And this year, Yuup is bringing those ideas out into the city.
From discovering experiences to creating them
Yuup started in Bristol with a simple idea: to help people discover brilliant things to do in their city, while giving local people and independent businesses a way to earn by sharing what they love. Since then, our community has grown across the UK and so has what we do.
Alongside the hundreds of experiences hosted by our community, we’ve increasingly had the opportunity to create ambitious experiences of our own – working with brilliant partners, artists and creatives to turn big ideas into something people can actually be part of.
We’ve collaborated with Aardman’s Morph, brought The Royal Ballet to unexpected spaces and, alongside our creative partner Celestial, pioneered the UK’s first large-scale touring drone light shows, which have now been experienced by more than 200,000 people.
Brazen Live Track feels like an exciting next step in that journey.
“Yuup has always been about helping people experience their city differently. Over the last few years, we’ve had the opportunity to take that idea further, creating increasingly ambitious experiences with some incredible partners. Brazen Live brings together so much of what excites me about Bristol - creativity, pioneering technology and, most importantly, giving people the chance to experience something they wouldn’t normally get to. We can’t wait to bring it to life this November.”

So, what is Brazen Live Track?
Created in collaboration with techSPARK, Brazen Live Track is the experiential side of the festival: a series of limited-run events that turn technology, creativity and culture into something you can see, feel and experience for yourself.
Rather than simply talking about what new technology can do, we want people to step inside it.
For our first Brazen Live Track programme, we’re working with pioneering Bristol creatives to create two very different experiences.
What if you could watch Bristol’s past, present and future appear before your eyes?
Bristol: Built by Dreamers is a UK-first holographic experience created with Bristol-based Holotronica, whose pioneering Hologauze technology and creative work has appeared in productions and tours featuring the likes of Beyoncé and Lady Gaga.
Staged inside the spectacular St Mary Redcliffe, the 30-minute experience will combine holographic and AI-driven technology with immersive storytelling to bring Bristol’s journey through time to life.
Running from 6–13 November, the experience has been created for the whole city, with around 10,000 people expected to experience it during its limited run.
Over at The Crypt at St Nicholas Church, we’re exploring what happens when cutting-edge technology meets movement and wellbeing.
Created with Bristol-based Beat Blocks in collaboration with movement experts Moments of Flow, Haptic Yoga uses pioneering haptic floor technology to transform sound into physical vibrations.
That means you won’t just hear the music during your yoga practice – you’ll physically feel it.
Across intimate 45-minute sessions, groups of up to 14 people will be among the first to experience this new technology, exploring a completely different connection between sound, movement and sensation.
Haptic Yoga will run from 9–13 November, with sessions throughout the day and capacity for up to 600 people across the week. You don’t need to be an experienced yogi either – curiosity is very much encouraged.
Bringing Brazen to life
Technology can sometimes feel like something happening behind a screen, inside a conference room or somewhere in the future. Brazen Live Track is about bringing that to life!
Across one week in November, more than 10,000 people will have the opportunity to encounter pioneering creative technology in some of Bristol’s most extraordinary spaces.
It’s a chance to feel music beneath your feet. To see Bristol’s story unfold through holograms. To step inside ideas that are being developed right here in the city. For us at Yuup, that’s what makes this project so exciting.
Bristol is where Yuup began, and we’re incredibly proud to be working alongside techSPARK and some of the city’s most innovative creatives to make experiences like these possible.
