At Skylight Circus Arts, we provide fun, dynamic, and inclusive circus workshops that ignite creativity and build confidence in students of all ages. Our experienced trainers bring a range of circus skills to life, from juggling and trapeze to stilt-walking and acrobatics. Designed to inspire both primary and secondary school students, our workshops focus on teamwork, coordination and self-expression, all in a supportive, non-competitive environment.

Whether you’re looking for a quick 90-minute taster session or a full day of circus fun, we can tailor our workshops to suit your school’s needs. Our sessions are flexible, accessible to all abilities, and can take place in our fully-equipped studio or at your school.
