Calling all Cary Grant fans! Mark the calendars for a thrilling celebration – the Cary Come Home Festival is returning to his hometown of Bristol, UK, from November 29th to December 1st, 2024!

This year marks the 120th anniversary of Cary Grant's birth, celebrated with a unique festival exploring the acrobatic side of this Hollywood legend. Known for his charm and charisma, Cary Grant was also a master of physical comedy with a background in acrobatics. The festival will explore Cary Grant as the acrobatic action hero, highlighting his incredible agility honed during his early days with the Pender Troupe, evident in the hilarious pratfalls of "Bringing Up Baby" and the heart-stopping chase in "North by Northwest."

The celebration will be packed with screenings, talks, and special events, offering an unforgettable experience that honors Cary Grant's comedic genius and physical prowess. The festival will examine his career as a showman, from acrobat to vaudeville star, and screen his screwball classics alongside silent films that shaped the young Archie Leach.

Travelers from afar are encouraged to secure their travel and accommodation in advance. Save the dates and stay tuned for more details about the festival program and special events. Don't miss the chance to celebrate Cary Grant in a whole new light!
