Derby School Circus Workshops

From £225.00!

Every school has pupils who think they are no good at anything physical. A circus workshop is where a lot of them change their minds.

Spinning a plate takes patience, not strength. Juggling takes rhythm, not speed. A diabolo rewards the child who watches carefully.

Our tutors work through these and more with each class in turn, alongside hula hoops and flower sticks.

The hall stays busy from the first bell to the last, and every pupil in the school gets a turn.

Primary schools in Allestree, Darley Abbey and across Derby can book for PE enrichment, reward days, creative weeks and Year 6 leavers' parties.

DBS-checked tutors bring the equipment and a risk assessment. Send us your dates to get a quote.

Circus Skills at Derby Fairs & Fun Days

From £225.00!

Ask anyone who has run a summer fair what they would like more of, and the answer is things for families to do together.

A circus skills area is exactly that.

Parents and children learn side by side, and it is not always the parent who gets it first.

The tutor hands out equipment, demonstrates the basics and then moves round offering tips, so nobody is stuck for long.

There is plenty of kit, so there is no standing about waiting.

We bring juggling balls, plates, diabolos, hula hoops, ribbons, poi and flower sticks.

It suits fun days in Markeaton Park, community events in the Cathedral Quarter or on Friar Gate, school fairs and birthday parties across Derby and Derbyshire.

Give us somewhere flat, with shelter nearby, and we will do the rest.

Walkabout Performers in Derby

From £225.00!

A walkabout performer is a show that comes to you.

One minute you are choosing a cake, the next there is a juggler at your elbow or a stilt walker tipping his hat from above.

It keeps an event feeling alive in every corner, and it is especially good for sites where people are spread over a wide area.

Available acts include stilt walkers, jugglers, magicians, bubble artists, balloon modellers, face painters and hula hoop artists.

Evening events can add fire performers or LED poi.

They suit festivals, well dressings, school fairs, weddings and company events throughout Derby.

Tell us about your event and we will suggest who to send.

Large purple and yellow striped circus big top tent hired for an outdoor event in Derby

Nothing transforms a playing field like a big top.

One day it is grass and goalposts. The next it is a circus.

Children notice first, usually from the school gate, and the news travels fast.

Our tents come in three sizes: a 7m round, a 15m round and a 22m oval.

Pick from purple and yellow or white and yellow.

The 7m is the workshop tent, the 15m gives you room for a show and a crowd, and the 22m is the full-size version for bigger events.

They can be hired across Derby and Derbyshire for school circus days, carnivals, festivals, weddings and anniversary parties.

Inside, the space can be laid out for a workshop, a performance or rows of tables for a party.

You can hire a tent alone or with our tutors and walkabout acts.

Sizes, colours and availability can all be found below.

Derby Team Building with Circus Skills

From £225.00!

There are no slides, no flip charts and no trust falls.

A circus skills workshop gets a team working together by giving them something tricky and enjoyable to master.

It starts with individual skills such as plate spinning and juggling, then moves to partner and group work.

People who rarely speak to each other end up coaching one another, and the conversations tend to carry on afterwards.

Sessions can be gentle or competitive, short or long.

Nobody needs any experience, and nobody is made to perform on their own.

Staff teams from the BBC, Sky, the NHS and the National Trust have booked our tutors.

We can come to your premises or to a venue in the Cathedral Quarter, and all the kit comes with us.

Tell us your numbers and what you want from the day. You will find more on this 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!"
