Circus Skills Workshops Manchester
Manchester likes its entertainment hands-on, and so do we.
Our performers bring circus skills workshops to schools, weddings, scout groups and private parties across the city, from Ancoats to Fallowfield.
We can work at an outdoor festival in Heaton Park, in a community centre or in a school in Chorlton.
A Didsbury primary school can book an enrichment day, a firm in Spinningfields a team-building session that is nothing like the last one, and a community group in Castlefield an activity for its summer fair.
The performer carries a complete set of equipment and can turn a playground, a hall or an office into a circus space in minutes.
We cover the whole of Greater Manchester too, including Salford, Stockport, Bolton, Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, & Wigan.
Each session is planned around the size of your group, your venue and your budget.
Let us know where in Manchester your event is and we will get a quote to you, rain or shine.

Manchester School Circus Workshops
From £225.00!
Hand a child three juggling balls and you find out a great deal about how they learn.
Some throw all three at once. Some study their hands for a full minute first. All of them improve faster than they expect.
Our performers take one class at a time through juggling, plate spinning, diabolo, hula hoop and poi, adjusting the challenge for each year group.
It is an active hour that suits every ability, and it gives teachers a chance to see pupils in a different light.
Primary schools in Sale, Stretford and across Manchester can book for enrichment weeks, reward days, transition events and end-of-year parties.
The day begins with a short live show or demonstration, either in assembly or at the start of each class's session. Every performer we send is DBS-checked and fully equipped. Tell us when you would like us to come.
Have-a-Go Circus at Manchester Events
From £225.00!
It does not matter if it rains. In fact, a circus skills session in a marquee or a hall can be the busiest spot at a wet event.
People come in to get dry and stay because they have picked up a diabolo.
The format suits any crowd: turn up, choose something, get a quick lesson, practise.
Performers are on hand throughout, keeping the equipment in circulation and spotting who needs a hint.
We bring diabolos, juggling balls, spinning plates, hula hoops, flower sticks, ribbons and poi.
It fits festivals in Heaton Park, community fun days in Worsley or Monton, school fairs and birthday parties across Manchester and Greater Manchester.
Alongside the teaching, the performer keeps up a little show of tricks all day, so there is always something to watch. We will need a flat area, indoors if you have it, or outdoors with some cover.
Manchester Walkabout Performers
From £225.00!
Big crowds need entertainment that can move with them.
A walkabout performer can work a street, a square or a showground, stopping wherever a few people gather and gone again before a bottleneck forms.
It is entertainment in small doses, repeated all day, and it reaches far more people than a single show.
Our performers include stilt walkers, jugglers, magicians, bubble artists, balloon modellers, face painters and hula hoop artists.
For evening events, fire performers and LED poi light things up.
They suit festivals, markets, weddings, product launches and staff parties across Manchester.
Give us a date, a place and a rough crowd size, and we will suggest the right acts.
Big Top Hire for Manchester Events
In a city with this much weather, a roof is worth having. A big top is a roof with a sense of occasion.
It gives you a dry, self-contained venue and a centrepiece people can see from the road.
Step inside and the outside world disappears, which is exactly what a good event should do.
Sizes are a 7m round, a 15m round and a 22m oval.
Colours are purple and yellow or white and yellow, and each tent can be laid out for workshops, a show or a celebration.
Across Manchester and Greater Manchester they can be hired for school circus days, community festivals, fetes, weddings and landmark birthdays.
Add workshop performers and walkabout acts, or take the tent alone.

Corporate Circus Workshops in Manchester
From £225.00!
The best away-day activities share one feature: people are still talking about them the next morning.
Circus skills manage that easily, mainly because someone always turns out to have a hidden talent and someone else turns out to have none at all.
The session is led by a professional performer who keeps it moving, keeps it friendly and makes sure nobody is left struggling.
It can be a forty-five minute energiser, a two-hour workshop or a full team competition.
We have worked with staff from the BBC, Sky, the NHS and the National Trust.
We deliver in offices, hotels and event spaces around Spinningfields and Deansgate, and anywhere else in the city, with all equipment supplied.
Tell us your numbers and what you are hoping for. More information is below.
