Circus Skills Workshops Carlisle

Circus skills travel well, and so do our tutors: we run fully equipped workshops for schools, workplaces and community groups in Carlisle and across north Cumbria.

Sessions can be booked in Brampton, Wigton, Longtown, Dalston, Penrith, & Gretna as easily as in the city itself.

We can run a reward afternoon for a primary school in Stanwix, a staff fun day near Kingmoor Park, or a stall at a community fete in Harraby, shaped around the space and the size of the group.

At a summer fun day in Bitts Park or a youth group evening in Upperby, the tutor arrives with juggling, diabolo and plate spinning kit and gets everyone started.

Teachers, employers and event organisers throughout Carlisle can book a session that is easy to arrange and properly hands-on.

Let us know your venue and numbers anywhere in Carlisle and north Cumbria and we will come back with a straightforward quote.

We would be pleased to bring the circus to your event near Rickerby Park.

Carlisle School Circus Workshops

From £225.00!

Children remember the day the circus came to school.

They remember balancing a spinning plate on one finger, the first time the diabolo climbed the string, and their teacher failing to keep a hula hoop up.

Behind the fun there is a lot of learning going on: hand-eye coordination, balance, rhythm and, above all, perseverance.

We teach a class at a time, so a one-form-entry school can get everyone through in a day and a larger school can book two tutors or a second visit.

Schools in Denton Holme, Currock and throughout Carlisle can book workshops for curriculum weeks, reward days, summer fairs and leavers' events.

Our DBS-checked tutors supply all the equipment. Tell us your dates and we will take it from there.

Circus Skills at Carlisle Fairs & Fun Days

From £225.00!

It starts with one brave volunteer and a spinning plate.

Then a friend wants a go. Then a brother. Then a mum who used to be able to hula hoop and wants to find out whether she still can.

That is how a circus skills area fills up, and it will stay busy for as long as you leave it open.

Our tutors keep things friendly and moving, giving each newcomer a quick lesson and a word of encouragement.

On the day we bring juggling balls, diabolos, plates, hula hoops, flower sticks, poi and ribbons.

It is a strong addition to a fun day in Bitts Park, a gala in Brampton or Dalston, a school summer fair or a birthday party anywhere in Carlisle and north Cumbria.

We need a patch of level ground and, ideally, a hall or gazebo to retreat to if it rains.

Walkabout Performers in Carlisle

From £225.00!

A stage show asks the audience to come to it.

Walkabout entertainment does the opposite, and that is why it works so well at events where people are spread out.

A juggler strolls through the craft tent. A stilt walker poses for photographs by the entrance. A balloon modeller hands a sword to a small and delighted pirate.

We can provide those and more: magicians, bubble artists, face painters, hula hoop artists and, for evening events, fire and LED performers.

They add life to agricultural shows, town festivals, school fairs, weddings and business open days across Carlisle.

Performers work in sets through the day, so there is always something happening somewhere.

Share your plans with us and we will suggest the acts and the timings.

Circus Tent Hire in Carlisle

Blue and yellow circus big top tent hire with children and performers doing circus skills workshops outside at an event in Carlisle
Small 7 metre circus big top tent hire for schools and events in Carlisle
Large purple and yellow striped circus big top tent hired for an outdoor event in Carlisle

Cumbrian weather is not always on the organiser's side. A big top means the event goes ahead regardless.

It also happens to be the most eye-catching thing you can put on a field.

Choose from 7m, 15m and 22m tents, in purple and yellow or white and yellow.

A 7m tent covers a workshop nicely. A 15m gives a show ring and space for families to watch. A 22m is a full-sized big top for larger audiences.

They can be hired for school circus days, galas, festivals, weddings and anniversary parties across Carlisle and north Cumbria.

Book a tent by itself, or pair it with circus skills tutors and walkabout performers.

Sizes, colours and availability are on the page linked below.

Corporate Circus Skills in Carlisle

From £225.00!

Ask a room of colleagues to learn something new together and you find out a lot about them.

Who reads the instructions. Who dives straight in. Who quietly helps the person next to them.

Circus skills bring all of that out, with a good deal of laughter along the way.

Sessions cover juggling, plate spinning, diabolo and hula hoop, and can end with a friendly competition between teams if you want one.

Our tutors have led workshops for staff at the BBC, Sky, the NHS and the National Trust.

We will come to you, or to a venue in the City Centre or around Botchergate, and we need nothing more than a clear room.

Tell us the date and the number of people. There is more information through the link below.

  • "Good morning, we absolutely LOVED the sessions on Monday last week, it was so different to anything that we've done before and the staff talked with a real buzz about the day. I definitely think amazon sales of juggling balls and hula hoops will increase as a result!!"

    Lucy - Primary School

  • "Absolutely fantastic people and experience. The kids loved it, perfect for all the family!"

    Cath - Tattie Fest, Girvan

  • "Absolutely fantastic organisation who were so accommodating and flexible. Carl was really helpful in answering questions and made the process really easy when booking for a community fun day. The performers Stu and Dimitri did an incredible drop in workshop and show, super entertaining and friendly, enjoyed by kids and big grown up kids alike!"
