Our Events
3 SPIRAL Coast Sessions
At our SPIRAL (Spin, Play, Inclusion, Rhythm, Art, Life) events in Gosford, participants can learn skills on our aerial rig, including trapeze, lyra, or silks, in a workshop environment with qualified trainers and a rigger. Plus, there's a circus play space with all the activities such as juggling, hula hoop, and more!
Make Your Own Props
At our Wyoming location, you can join our "make your own equipment" session, followed by a workshop on how to use your new juggling balls, hula hoop, or poi. We'll provide you with a circus prop at the end so you can continue your activity at home.
3 SASS sessions
At our SASS sessions (Sunday Aerial Social Sessions) we are offering free aerial classes for teens and adults.
...And So Much More
Our other events include an interactive playspace plus specific workshops such as Acro and Fan dancing at The Entrance, a structured workshop on family acro at Woy Woy, Sunset Sessions with Ethereal Misfits, and a circus skills workshop and playspace in Terrigal.
Objectives: What's it all for?
Reconnect
Active Fest is about more than just having fun – it's about encouraging young people to reconnect through participation in sport and active recreation.
Range of activities
Roundabout Circus is proud to be part of the active fest initiative showcasing the range of activities available across the Central Coast.
Opportunities
Providing opportunities for those who have disengaged from or are not currently participating in sport or active recreation. Circus is a great activity for those looking to try something new.
Focusing on non-competitive recreation participants can engage and challenge themselves as much as they feel able to. Circus is for everybody and we pride ourselves on our inclusive relaxed environment.
A Note on Funding:
