If you’ve ever wanted to run away and join the circus, this is your moment. Minus the running away bit.

We’re celebrating World Circus Day with a free open day at Roundabout Circus, and you’re invited.
Whether you’re five, fifteen or fifty, this is your chance to try something completely different in a space that’s welcoming, supportive and a whole lot of fun.
What's happening on the day
We’re opening the doors and giving you a proper taste of circus.
You can jump into a workshop, watch a performance, or just come in and soak up the Roundabout vibe.
Here’s what you can expect:
Free circus workshops for all ages
Aerials, juggling, hula hoop and acrobatics
Balance skills like unicycle and tightwire
A live showcase with our students and trainers
Circus Olympics games, anyone can join
Plus all the good stuff that makes it a proper day out, including face painting, a BBQ and cake stall, a coffee cart (because you'll need it!?!), and a chance to meet the team and ask questions

We welcome everyone
There's this made-up phallacy that circus is for kids. Well, it isn't. And you're never too old to give it a go. We see people walk in feeling unsure or a bit disconnected, and over time, they find their place. There’s no judgment here. People back each other. You feel part of something.
“The great thing about Roundabout Circus is that there's no judgement. Everyone backs you and makes you feel seen and welcome. It gives you a place to belong.” Ginny, part of the Roundabout crew

Come and give it a go
World Circus Day is our way of opening the doors for you to come in, have a go, and see what it feels like. If you love it, you can keep going with our Unlimited Discovery Pass.
P. S. Workshops are free, but places are limited, so make sure you book a place so you guarantee a chance to join the fun. Before you participate in any of our Workshops, we kindly ask you to fill out the Waiver here so that we can register you and keep you super safe.
