ELEVATE CIRCUS WORKSHOPS UK
Circus Skills Workshops for Schools, Events & Corporate Teams Across the Bradford Area
Bringing juggling, plate spinning, stilts & more to schools & events in the Bradford area
Circus Skills Workshops Bradford
Bradford has no shortage of good venues for a circus workshop, from Victorian school halls to the lawns of Lister Park, and our performers work in all of them.
We run sessions for schools, weddings, scout groups and private celebrations across the city, from Saltaire to Manningham.
A primary school in Saltaire might book an enrichment day. A firm in Little Germany might want a team-building afternoon. A community group in the City Centre might need an attraction for its summer fair.
Each one gets a session planned around its own space, numbers and budget.
We also travel across West Yorkshire and can come to Shipley, Bingley, Ilkley, Keighley, Haworth, Thornton, & Silsden.
Village halls, playgrounds, offices and festival fields all work, and our performers bring every piece of equipment with them.
Tell us where in Bradford your event is and we will send a quote to suit.
We look forward to bringing the circus to your part of West Yorkshire.

Bradford School Circus Skills Days
From £225.00!
It takes about four minutes for a class to go from polite curiosity to complete absorption in a circus workshop.
First come the spinning plates, because almost everyone can do them. Then juggling, diabolo, flower sticks and hula hoop, each a little harder than the last.
Children find their own favourite, and the performer makes sure everyone has had a success before the bell goes.
Because each class has its own slot, the session can be pitched properly: playful for Key Stage 1, more demanding for Key Stage 2.
We visit primary schools in Keighley, Haworth and all over Bradford for enrichment days, themed weeks, rewards and end-of-term celebrations.
A short live show or demonstration kicks things off, either for the whole school in assembly or at the start of every class session. DBS-checked performers and all equipment come as standard. Tell us the date you have in mind.
Have-a-Go Circus at Bradford Events
From £225.00!
You do not need a programme, a stage or a compère for this one.
A circus skills area runs itself: the equipment goes out, the performer says hello, and people start picking things up.
Small children wobble a plate on a stick with enormous concentration. Older ones compete to keep the diabolo spinning longest. Parents rediscover the hula hoop.
The performer moves between them all, fixing grips, suggesting the next trick and cheering the first catch.
Juggling balls, plates, diabolos, hula hoops, poi, ribbons and flower sticks are all provided.
It is a good fit for festivals in Ilkley, fun days in Lister Park, school and church fairs, melas and birthday parties across Bradford and West Yorkshire.
While visitors practise, the performer keeps the atmosphere up with regular bursts of juggling and balancing, so the area feels like a show as much as a workshop. We look after the activity for the whole event. You supply the space and a little shelter.
Bradford Walkabout Entertainers
From £225.00!
A good walkabout performer can stop a crowd in its tracks with nothing but three clubs and a grin.
They do not need a stage because the event is the stage: the path between the stalls, the lawn outside the marquee, the foyer before the doors open.
Guests get entertainment at arm's length, and you get an atmosphere that reaches every corner of the site.
Our roster covers stilt walkers, jugglers, magicians, balloon modellers, bubble artists, face painters and hula hoop artists.
When the light fades, fire performers and LED poi provide the spectacle.
Book them for festivals, fairs, weddings, civic events and company parties anywhere in Bradford.
Give us the date and a sense of the crowd, and we will recommend the line-up.
Bradford Big Top Tent Hire
Children draw circuses as a tent with a flag on top, and for good reason. The tent is the circus.
Hiring one turns a school field or a festival site into the picture they had in mind.
Our big tops are a 7m or 15m round or a 22m oval and come in white and yellow or purple and yellow.
The 7m is a cosy workshop space. The 15m has room for a ring and an audience. The 22m is the full big top experience.
They can be booked across Bradford and West Yorkshire for circus days, galas, festivals, weddings and anniversary celebrations.
Workshop performers and walkabout acts can be added, or you can hire the tent on its own.
Sizes, colours and availability are set out below.
Corporate Circus Workshops in Bradford
From £225.00!
It is hard to stay in work mode while trying to keep a plate spinning on a stick.
That is rather the point.
Circus skills get a team out of its routine and into something playful, where the usual roles do not apply and everyone has to ask for help.
Sessions can be short and sociable or built into a half-day programme with team tasks and a final showcase.
Staff groups from the BBC, Sky, the NHS and the National Trust have all taken part in our workshops.
We come to offices and venues across the city, including Little Germany and the City Centre, and bring everything required.
Tell us what you are planning and how many people are involved. More information is below.
