The main objective of our circus skills workshops is to have fun and to learn and develop some new and existing skills and talents.

Participants will learn on their own, in pairs and small groups and there will be a focus on the building of trust and sharing skills.

The performance of circus skills can give a tremendous sense of achievement and confidence. Children quickly learn to perform skills neither they nor their audience would have thought possible.

Those with concentration and behavioural difficulties often co-operate well and focus for longer periods.

Types of Workshops

Circus skills workshops can last from an hour to a week and anything in between! They are suitable for all ages and abilities and can be tailor-made to suit your needs.
