Circus Skills Workshops for Schools Across the UK 

Our circus skills workshops for schools bring juggling, plate spinning, diabolo, stilts, hula hoop and more straight into your school hall.

Each day starts with a short demonstration for the whole school, followed by hands-on workshops for groups of up to 35.

We work with primary schools, secondary schools and SEN settings, with sessions that support EYFS, KS1 and KS2 physical development.

Every tutor is DBS-checked and fully insured, and we bring all the equipment.

Available anywhere in mainland UK, with prices from £225. A full school day typically costs £325–£495, depending on the time of year and your location*.

If you have the budget and the outdoor space you can have an even more awesome day with one of our Little Big Top Tents!

How does a circus skills day work in a primary school?

A DBS-checked circus tutor arrives with all the equipment, sets up in your school hall, and each class takes a turn at a hands-on workshop of 40 to 60 minutes. You need one indoor space about the size of a tennis court. This three-minute video walks through the whole day: what to send when you enquire, how the timetable runs, what children learn, safety and what it costs.

Timetabling

It’s quite simple to workout a timetable for the day. Usually we start with a short 15-20 minute demonstration for all the children involved in the school hall and then go on to do the workshops for 30-35 at a time.

You don’t have to start with the show/demo, in fact if you want to add a 9th workshop we often take that out. You can also swap it to the end of the day if that suits you better.

As long as there’s a morning break and an hour for lunch we can get it to work!

For a single entry school with 8 classes that would look something like this;

What size space?

For a class of 30-35 we would need an indoor area like a school hall or gymnasium, roughly the same size as a tennis court. The workshops are always better taught indoor as some skills are impossible to teach if there’s wind so indoor is always best!

If you are a 2 or 3 form entry school then you would either need to run the workshops over a couple or 3 days or if you have 2-3 additional spaces, we can send multiple tutors.

The prices for these are simply double or triple depending on what’s required.

The skills taught in the workshops varies slightly from tutor to tutor but generally includes juggling with scarves, balls and clubs, spinning plates, Poi, flower stick, Diabolo, feather balancing, beginners stilts, hula hoop and more.

Generally workshops should be around 30 minutes up to 60 minutes and we insist that our tutor gets a morning break and an hour for lunch.

All of our tutors have DBS certificates and PLI which can be sent if required.
