Circus Skills Workshops for Schools, Events & Corporate Teams Across the Leeds Area

Professional circus skills workshop tutor juggling at a Leeds school event

Bringing juggling, plate spinning, stilts & more to schools & events in the Leeds area

Circus Skills Workshops Leeds

Leeds does events on a grand scale, and it does small community ones just as well. Our circus skills workshops fit both.

We teach in schools, at weddings, for scout groups and at private parties all over the city, from Headingley to Roundhay.

Our performers are as comfortable at a festival in Temple Newsam as in a village hall or a classroom in Chapel Allerton.

A Horsforth primary school can book an enrichment day, a community group in Holbeck a stall for its summer fair, and a Leeds City Centre firm a team-building session with a difference.

Each performer travels with a complete kit, so a playground, an office or a marquee can become a circus space within minutes.

We also work across West Yorkshire and can come to Wetherby, Morley, Pudsey, Garforth, Rothwell, Otley, & Guiseley.

Every booking is planned around your group size, your venue and your budget, so tell us where in Leeds you are and we will send a quote.

We look forward to bringing the circus to your corner of Yorkshire.

Leeds School Circus Workshops

From £225.00!

Some school visitors bring a slideshow. We bring spinning plates, and plenty of them.

From the first minute every pupil has something in their hands, and the hall fills with the sound of children working things out for themselves.

Each class has a session of its own, starting with plate spinning and hula hoop and building up to juggling, flower sticks and diabolo.

The skills are new to nearly everyone, so the usual pecking order disappears and quieter children often lead the way.

Primary schools in Pudsey, Farsley and across Leeds can book workshops for PE enrichment, STEM and arts weeks, reward days and Year 6 leavers' celebrations.

A short show or demonstration opens every visit, whether that is a full-school performance in assembly or a few minutes at the start of each class. Performers are DBS-checked and bring everything needed. Tell us your dates and we will work out the timetable.

Circus Skills at Leeds Fairs & Festivals

From £225.00!

Every fair needs one attraction where the fun is in getting it wrong. This is it.

Plates fall off sticks. Diabolos roll under tables. Juggling balls go in three directions at once.

Then, quite suddenly, something works, and the person holding it looks up to see who was watching.

Our performers keep the area running all day, welcoming each new arrival and showing them where to start.

There is no minimum age and no upper limit, and nobody is asked to perform in front of anyone else.

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

It suits community festivals in Roundhay or Moortown, events at Temple Newsam, school summer fairs and children's parties across Leeds and West Yorkshire.

The performer keeps a little show going alongside the teaching, so there is always a trick to watch and a reason to come over. Find us a flat pitch with some shelter close by and we will handle the rest.

Walkabout Performers for Leeds Events

From £225.00!

The gap between arriving at an event and finding something to do is where first impressions are formed.

A walkabout performer fills that gap.

They welcome people in, break the ice between strangers and give children something to point at while the adults find their bearings.

Later they keep the energy up between scheduled acts, turning quiet patches into small shows.

We can supply stilt walkers, jugglers, magicians, bubble artists, balloon modellers, face painters and hula hoop artists, with fire and LED performers after dark.

They suit festivals, fairs, weddings, shopping centre events and corporate parties anywhere in Leeds.

Send us the date and the times, and we will suggest who would work best.

Big Top Hire in Leeds

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

A marquee says 'function'. A big top says 'occasion'.

It changes the mood of an event from the moment guests see it across the field.

It is also the most practical kind of spectacle, because it keeps everyone dry.

We offer three sizes, 7m, 15m and 22m, in purple and yellow or white and yellow.

Use the 7m for workshops and children's parties, the 15m for school and community events, and the 22m for performances with a full audience.

They can be hired throughout Leeds and West Yorkshire for school circus days, galas, summer festivals, weddings and anniversaries.

The tent can come on its own, or with workshop performers and walkabout acts to fill it.

Details of sizes, colours and availability are below.

Leeds Corporate Circus Workshops

From £225.00!

An hour of circus skills does something a quiz night cannot: it gets people out of their chairs and working with whoever is standing next to them.

Nobody can hide at the back, and nobody needs to. The first skills are easy enough that everyone gets a win early on.

From there the performer builds things up, adding partner work and team challenges for groups that want them.

It works for a small team in a meeting room and for a larger group in a function room.

We have run workshops for staff at the BBC, Sky, the NHS and the National Trust.

Sessions can take place at your offices or at a venue in Leeds City Centre or Holbeck, with all equipment supplied.

Let us have your numbers and a preferred date. There is more information 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.
