Easter Youth Circus Camps
6 – 10 April 2021 (Tue-Sat)
Ages 4 – 18
Earlybird booking opens 14 December 2020!
Circomedia Youth Circus offers children aged 2 – 18 the chance to enter the extraordinary world of contemporary circus and physical theatre. Our groups cater for all different ages and abilities and you don’t have to have previous experience!
Led by our professional circus tutors, our after-school sessions offer a varied programme of acrobatics, aerial skills, manipulation & equilibristics and performance skills. Children will try everything from diabolo to trapeze over the course of the year, and develop their co-ordination, build physical and mental resilience and make friends in a relaxed, creative environment.
Covid-19 Update: We ran a very successful half term of Covid-Secure classes from Sep-Oct 2020! We’re not able to run classes during national lockdown, but hope to be back for the second half of our Spring term at the end of February.
In the meantime, why not check out Youth Circus: Home Edition – our free online circus tutorial library! We have almost 100 tutorials for all ages and abilities, all safe to try at home.
Children aged 4+ who have already started school, or completed two terms of pre-school, can join our Youth Circus classes. Before that, we have an informal drop-in class on Sundays, our pre-school Sparrows class.
We’re currently at waiting list capacity for all Youth Circus groups, and due to Covid-19 restrictions we cannot give an accurate wait time at the moment. To join our waiting list, fill out our online form.
Our taster sessions are currently on hold due to Covid-19 restrictions. Once you’ve joined the waiting list and a space becomes available, we’ll get in touch about booking you in for a taster.
For more information please contact the team on youthcircus@circomedia.com. Please be aware that due to home working and furlough, our capacity may be reduced right now.
