What it’s like
A circus skills party comes to you, with tightrope, stilt walkers, plate spinning and micro bikes for two hours.
This isn't a venue you visit, it's a party that turns up at yours. Book the two-hour circus skills party and you get someone teaching juggling and plate spinning, a go on the tightrope, parachute games, balloon twisting and a fleet of fun wheels and micro bikes for the kids to have a go on. It's a proper hands-on session rather than a watch-from-the-sofa show, which suits a garden or a hall better than a cramped front room.
£350 for two hours is the starting point, and the site's upfront that the final figure depends on where you are, since travel costs get added on top of that. Worth factoring in if you're outside Bristol itself.
They also do a Christmas version of this, with stilt walkers, a fire finale and a glowing UV set for evening dos, plus between-courses cabaret if you're running a proper sit-down do. Fire performance only happens outdoors or in open air, so if your venue's all indoor rooms they'll swap it for the UV set instead. For December dates they want at least a month's notice, and Fridays and Saturdays in the first three weeks of the month go quickly, so if Christmas is the plan, sort it early rather than leaving it to late November.

Plan your visit
How much does a party cost?
The two-hour circus skills party starts at £350. Travel costs get added depending on where you're based, so the final price can move.
What do the kids actually do?
Juggling, plate spinning, tightrope walking, parachute games, balloon twisting, and a go on fun wheels and micro bikes. It's all hands-on rather than a sit-and-watch show.
Do we need to book ahead?
For Christmas dates they ask for at least a month's notice, and December Fridays and Saturdays fill up fast. Best to sort your date early if it's a festive booking.
Can you do something for an office Christmas party as well as kids?
Yes, corporate Christmas bookings are one of their busiest jobs, with arrival acts, between-courses performances, finales and circus-skills workshops as a team activity.
What about fire performance, is that safe indoors?
Fire acts are staged outdoors or in open air only. For an indoor room they'd suggest the glowing UV set instead, or save the fire for when guests are outside.
