Trips vary from supporting our community to viewing private circuses. The big trip I'd like to arrange this year is a circus camping trip! These are the things WE offer however, through the years of doing this our committee has built a good network of everything circus and get involved with things such as the 'love jam' and Bristol fire community. So if there's a circus field you are interested in be sure to get in touch and we will do everything we can to accommodate what you are after.
Our committee is a great point of contact for information regarding our society or general support on circus-related activities.

All our sessions are skillshare based and we have specialist performers for the most common flow arts props, juggling with balls, clubs and poi as well as soft acrobatics and Cyr Wheel. So whichever you`d like to learn, we have the teacher for you!
Circus comes in infinite forms and we from the committee are excited to explore new ways of expression. Contemporary circus celebrates all walks of life and all of our sessions are open to anyone interested. The locations are generally accessible and we are always available for questions and support.
Contemporary Circus is a celebration and meaningful expression of all forms of creative movement, from physical theatre to dance to juggling and fire spinning, aerial acrobatics, Cyr Wheel, Pole dance, slack lining, clowning and so so much more. So whether you are completely new or already have a passion that you want to explore from a circus perspective, come by and have fun !
