ELEVATE CIRCUS WORKSHOPS UK
So, who are Elevate Circus Workshops?
Elevate Circus Workshops exists for one reason: to make people happy.
That means the schools who book us get a day their children talk about for weeks. It means the festivals get entertainment that actually stops people in their tracks. And it means the 150+ performers and tutors who work with us get paid properly — because happy performers deliver better experiences, every single time.

Most entertainment agencies in the UK pocket 30–40% of every booking fee. We think that's embarrassing for an industry built on talent and hard work. So we built something different.
Our agency fee is paid by our performers, not by you. For most bookings it's a flat £50. For shorter or lower-value days it drops to £25. That's it. No percentage skimmed off the top, no mysterious deductions, no admin fees appearing after the fact. Our tutors know exactly what they're earning before they accept a single job — and that trust is what brings the best people to our platform.

We follow Equity guidelines — the UK's trade union for performers — as our benchmark for fair pay. A 3–4 hour booking starts from around £350 and a full day from around £500. We won't quote below £225 for any booking, and we follow government guidelines when adding travel to quotes.

Between us we've visited over 164 schools, delivered thousands of workshops, and inspired more than 11,870 children with circus skills. Our clients include the BBC, Sky, the NHS and the National Trust. We hold a 5.0 rating on Google and 5 stars on Facebook — not because we chase reviews, but because we genuinely care whether people had a brilliant time.
Every performer on our platform holds a current DBS certificate and public liability insurance. Risk assessments and safeguarding statements are available to download directly from our website.

We're registered with Dun & Bradstreet (D-U-N-S: 235590553) and we're available across all of mainland UK — from the biggest cities to the smallest village fairs.
If you want circus workshops or entertainment that leaves people grinning, we'd love to hear from you.
