Welcome
Circus skills workshops for schools and events
CIRCUS SKILLS WORKSHOPS are a great way of letting all ages and abilities learn some new and exciting activities. As well as the social and interactional benefits of working together on new tasks, CIRCUS SKILLS WORKSHOPS can improve motor skills, coordination and problem solving. Most importantly, they are fun!
We are based in London, but can provide workshops in most places – just get in touch for information. The majority of our Circus Skills in Schools are taught in London, Essex, Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Herts, Bucks, and Beds.
