Walk the tightrope (low level) and test your balance like a real circus performer.
Hula hoop your way to fun, learning tricks and rhythms of classic carnival movement.
Design bold carnival masks, full of colour, feathers, and personality.
Learn mime and physical theatre, telling stories through movement and expression.

Each day is packed with hands-on activities, and we wrap up each week with our legendary ‘Fun Friday Birthday Party’ featuring music, popcorn and cake.
