This day has been devised to help both organisations and schools have a day where a large number of people, both young and old, can experience the exertion, fun and sense of achievement that learning a circus skill or two can bring. At a time when indoor screen-based entertainment is becoming more and more entrancing, learning these new skills can really help redress the balance.
This works really well either at the start of half-term or the holidays as a way of inspiring young people before they have a long period of free time.
Once the initial workshop day has taken place, a series of after-school clubs can be arranged to keep up and improve on the skills of those who have been bitten by the bug !
