Circus Workshops

Circomedia can provide workshops in all circus skills for most abilities and ages. A fun yet challenging range of activities tailored to suit your personal requirements either as entertainment or as part of a teambuilding excercise. We can come to you or you can visit us here in Bristol.

Great for stag nights/hen parties, schools, offices, fun days etc. A day or half day of participative circus activities for groups. Activities can include fun sessions in trapeze, acrobalance, juggling, silly games and clowning.

Workshops can range from a half day to a two week residency, depending on budget and skill choice. All of our workshop tutors have enhanced Criminal Record Bureau disclosure and have completed a professional teacher training course specific to circus skills.

"We have seen young people grow in confidence, ability to respond to instructions, physical fitness and their social networks have increased, which are all factors in minimising harm and promoting growth in their lives." LISA BAILEY, PROJECT WORKER, SOUTHMEAD BETTER TOGETHER PROJECT

"Thank you all so much for the experience of flying high yesterday.  I feel a thousand times more confident in my ability to have a go at whatever comes along and you have all made me feel so proud of myself.  It was good to trust people with such amazing skills and thank you all for such a memorable day."  JUDITH ACKLAND
