ELEVATE CIRCUS WORKSHOPS
Fundraising Days with Elevate Circus Workshops
Perfect for Parent & Teacher Association (PTA) events our fundraising days provide amazing shows along with drop in style workshops.
Depending on whether you select our 15m or 20m little big top tents you can entertain 300-400 participants for each show sitting. It’s a fantastic money raising idea!
Available all over mainland United Kingdom!
What are “drop in style workshops”?
Basically speaking, rather than being a “structured” lesson, children (and adults) can drop in and out as they please. There is always at least one tutor on hand to help and teach but it is overall a lot more relaxed.
The workshops are held outside the tent for the duration of the day and will continue while the shows are happening. It has been known to charge to participate in these workshops, something like 50p or £1 to enter and stay for as long as they want but to make this work you will need to cordon off an area so you can monitor who is going in. The area should be approximately the size of a tennis/basketball court, with any entrance/exit monitored by a member of staff you provide, they should also be responsible for collecting any money and preventing too many children (and adults) from entering the area for H&S. All guidance will be given by our team on the day.
The equipment that will be bought along with the team mostly includes the following; juggling balls, scarves and clubs, Poi, flower stick, Diabolo, gymnastic ribbons, feathers, hula hoop and beginners stilts. A slack-line can also be booked at additional cost.
This easy fundraising idea comes from your ability to sell tickets for the shows that we will put on for you. Generally we do 2 shows, each around 45-50 minutes in length and are filled with jokes, tricks, slip-stick humour and audience participation. We can do more, shorter shows if requested. These would be 30 minute shows and we can do 3 or 4 of these depending on the duration of the day.
The price you sell those tickets for is up to you (you keep all the money we don’t take any sort of a “cut”) but the likelihood is it will need to be between £3-£7 per ticket. It might be advisable to offer a family discount for 2 adults and 2 children.
In addition to having our team come along with our little big top tent you can also have other vendors selling items and other activities like bouncy castles to help raise money (again, unlike some other providers, we don’t take any sort of “cut” from the money you raise for the day).
Unlike our workshop days in schools, where the audience is nearly always all children, our fundraising days are usually during the weekend and for families. Therefore seating will be required for the adults (we do not provide any seating). You will probably need between 100-150 seats depending on the size of tent you book. This can be gym benches, hay bales or indeed chairs!
All of our tutors have DBS certificates and PLI which can be sent if required.
