BTEC Open Day
Performing Arts (Circus)
Who is it for?
Our Open Days are aimed at 16–18 year olds who are curious about an alternative pathway to A Levels and want hands-on training in circus, movement and physical theatre.
When is it?
Saturday 11 April 2026
We’d love to welcome you to our Portland Square venue, the home of our BTEC students, and show you where training happens every day. You’ll get the chance to explore the space, meet the team, take part in some workshops and ask any questions you have about the course.

When you email, please include:
-
Your phone number (for any last-minute updates)

Whether you’re bringing a plus one, and their name
-
Any accessibility or additional requirements

Where you are travelling from
Further Information
What do I wear?
Please come in comfortable clothes you can move in, plus layers to keep warm when you’re not active.
Food & Drink
There isn’t a formal lunch break, but feel free to bring snacks and a water bottle to keep your energy up. The venue is also just a short walk from central Bristol if you want to explore afterwards.
Travel & Parking
Portland Square is easily accessible by public transport, it’s just a 15-minute walk from both Bristol Bus Station and Temple Meads railway station.
If you’re travelling by car, pay-and-display parking is available directly in Portland Square. On Saturdays, you can often find free parking in the residential streets just behind Circomedia St Paul’s Church.
We look forward to welcoming you!
