Circus Skills Workshops aka Juggling Workshops
Welcome to circus-workshop.co.uk, the perfect place to find out about and book a circus skills workshop for any type of event.
Over the past fourteen years or so I have provided circus skills workshops and juggling workshops for many different clients holding very different types of events including: festivals (various types), fetes, carnivals, private parties, school fun days, corporate events, play schemes, scout/guide camps and more.
Circus skills workshops are both educational and fun and can bring together people of different ages with different backgrounds and varied skill levels. I can cater for absolute begginers to advanced jugglers who wish to enhance their skills.
What do you teach?
Skills taught in my circus skills workshops are: Ball, scarve, Club and Ring Juggling, Devil Sticks, Hula Hoop, Diabolo, Plate Spinning, Object Balancing (on hand, chin, nose and head), Hat Manipulation,Yo-Yo, Cigar Boxes, Wire Walking or Tight Rope, Stiltwalking and Unicycling/pedal-go. I also often include various strange and wonderful bicycles.

A circus skills
workshop can be organised in a way that is best suited to your
event. For example, a school or corporate event may wish to have
a structured circus skills workshop spending allocated time
working on particular circus skills and swapping around spending
say 30 minutes on each skill. A festival or fete would usually
opt for something far less structured and and would rather we ran
a drop in style circus skills workshop where people come and go
as they please trying what they want, when they want. Drop in
workshops are a good attraction for these kind of events and are
always very popular. For drop in workshops I always mark an area
out with stakes and rope or bunting, this keeps the circus skills
workshop contained in one area for safety and to stop equipment
being spread from here to eternity!

What ever your event, I can adapt what I do to fit you needs in a fully interactive and enthusiastic style.
Examples of circus workshops:
1:
Two hours total, split into four half hour sessions of four
different skills, for example ball juggling, diabolo, plate
spinning and tight rope. This is very popular with schools and
corporate customers as a team building exercise or just a bit of
fun.
For information
on team building click here.
2: The same as above but with an extra session on the end to include more skills and the chance for participants to have a go at what they wish.
3: A one to two hour session concentrating on just one skill.
4: Drop in style. Have a go at the lot, as and when you please, suitable for fetes and festivals.
5: Multiple day courses. These tend to be more structured and could end in a performance performed by you!
6: Bespoke circus workshops. You have an idea and I work with it.
For circus workshops in an organised/controlled environment (not drop in festival style)I always give a detailed and fun demonstration of all the skills being taught as well as on going tuition throughout the session.
Your event could be complemented by having a juggling show or even some stilt walkers. I can supply it all as either a solo or double act. If your event is a biggie we could supply more circus skills instructors or performers.
Circus Workshop prices.
It
is impossible to have a price list as every circus skills
workshop has different dynamics from length of workshop to
distance travelled to facilitate the circus workshop. However,
when working schools the price per head works out at
approximately £2.50. This is based on a local school (within one
hours drive) and 4 X one hour sessions each with 30 different
participants in each.
Please note: This price is an example of circus workshops
previously provided, it is not a guaranteed price.
