ELEVATE CIRCUS WORKSHOPS UK
Circus Skills Workshops for Schools, Events & Corporate Teams Across the Leicester Area
Bringing juggling, plate spinning, stilts & more to schools & events to the Leicester Area
Circus Skills Workshops Leicester
Leicester's parks, school halls and community centres all make good circus rings, and our performers have the equipment to prove it.
We run workshops for schools, weddings, scout groups and private parties throughout the city, from the Castle Quarter to Knighton.
Sessions can be held at an outdoor festival in Victoria Park, in a community centre or in a classroom in Stoneygate.
A primary school in Clarendon Park might want an enrichment day, a Leicester City Centre company a team-building workshop, and a community group in Aylestone something lively for its summer fair.
In every case the performer arrives with a full kit and sets up in whatever space you have, whether that is a playground, a hall or an office.
We also travel across Leicestershire and the East Midlands, including Loughborough, Hinckley, Melton Mowbray, Coalville, Market Harborough, Wigston, & Lutterworth.
Sessions are planned around your numbers, your venue and your budget.

Circus Skills Days in Leicester Schools
From £225.00!
A circus workshop is the rare school activity that the PE lead, the arts lead and the Year 3 teacher all want to book.
It builds coordination and balance, it is creative, and it has thirty children concentrating hard without being asked to.
Classes take turns with the performer, learning to spin plates, juggle, twirl flower sticks, hula hoop and control a diabolo.
Each skill has an easy first step and a harder second one, so every child is stretched without being left behind.
Nobody is put on the spot. Children practise in their own space and show the class only if they want to.
Primary schools in Knighton, Stoneygate and across Leicester can book for curriculum enrichment, reward days, cultural weeks and leavers' celebrations.
Each day starts with a short circus show, in assembly or at the top of every workshop, so pupils see the skills in action before having a go. Our performers are DBS-checked and carry all the kit. Send us the dates you are considering.
Circus Skills at Leicester Festivals & Fairs
From £225.00!
Festival crowds like to join in, and a circus skills area lets them.
It is a simple idea: a patch of ground, a performer and a lot of equipment that people are allowed to touch.
Children pile in first. Their parents follow, usually claiming they are only helping.
Within ten minutes the adults are as absorbed as the children, and considerably more competitive.
The performer gets each visitor started with a trick they can manage, then shows them the next one when they are ready.
We provide spinning plates, juggling balls, hula hoops, diabolos, poi, ribbons and flower sticks.
It is well suited to events in Victoria Park, community days in the Castle Quarter, school fairs and family parties across Leicester and Leicestershire.
Throughout the event the performer mixes teaching with quick bursts of performance, which keeps the area busy and the crowd growing. Give us a level space and some shelter nearby, and the rest is taken care of.
Walkabout Entertainers for Leicester Events
From £225.00!
You can plan a programme to the minute and still find that the moment everyone remembers was unscheduled.
A stilt walker joining the conga. A magician producing a card from somewhere impossible. A juggler who keeps going when the rain starts.
Walkabout entertainers specialise in those moments.
They move through your event in costume, performing for small groups and making sure nobody is left out.
Choose from stilt walkers, jugglers, magicians, bubble artists, balloon modellers, face painters and hula hoop artists, with fire and LED acts for the evening.
They are right for festivals, melas, school fairs, weddings and corporate celebrations anywhere in Leicester.
Tell us the date and what you have planned, and we will recommend performers.
Leicester Big Top Hire
If you have the field, we have the tent.
A big top makes an immediate statement and gives your event a home, whatever the forecast.
It is also the backdrop to every photograph anyone takes that day.
You can choose a 7m, a 15m or a 22m tent.
All come in purple and yellow or white and yellow. The smallest suits workshops and parties, and the largest will take a full show and its audience.
They can be hired across Leicester and Leicestershire for school circus days, fetes, festivals, weddings and anniversary parties.
Book the tent on its own, or with performers and walkabout acts for the complete experience.
Sizes, colours and availability are shown below.
Leicester Team Building with Circus Skills
From £225.00!
Circus skills are a good test of a team, because nobody can do them alone for long.
Sooner or later you need a partner to pass to, someone to hold the other end, or a colleague to tell you what you are doing wrong.
That is what makes a workshop useful as well as entertaining.
Our performers start gently, make sure everyone succeeds at something, and then build towards group challenges if you want them.
Organisations that have booked our performers include the BBC, Sky, the NHS and the National Trust.
We can run the session at your premises or at a venue in the City Centre or Castle Quarter, and we bring all the equipment.
Let us know how many people and how much time you have. There is more detail below.
