Circus skills workshops

This event is now finished for 2011, but you might like to check out our online play resources for kids.

Roll up, roll up! Come to Eden this summer and learn a range of skills from the masters at NoFit State Circus, who will be performing the Labyrinth show exclusively on site.

As part of our Festival of Play, you’ll be able sample workshops in the following circus skills:

  • stilt-walking
  • unicycling
  • tightwire
  • clowning
  • juggling
  • hoola-hooping.

There will be drop-in sessions for skills such as juggling and hoola hooping in the Big Top at 11.30am–12.30pm, 1.30–2.30pm and 3.30–4.30pm.

There will also be a daily specialist workshop in more advanced skills such as the trapeze and tightwire from 3pm to 5pm (additional cost of £5 per person; tickets to be booked at the Stage).
