How a Circus Party Works
1. We arrive early and set up the full circus kit before the children come in — no waiting around, no chaos.
2. The music goes on and the circus begins. Tom introduces each piece of equipment, demonstrates what it can do, and invites every child to have a go.
3. Children rotate freely between stations — tightrope, spinning plates, juggling, fun wheels, parachute games and more. Everyone goes at their own pace, with Tom teaching and cheering them on throughout.
4. Balloon twisting runs throughout the session — every child gets to choose and take home their own balloon creation.
5. We pack everything up cleanly and leave — you’re left with a room full of happy, slightly exhausted children and parents who can’t stop saying thank you.
What Parents and Organisers Say
“Wow, what a wonderful day the children had. I would certainly recommend Tom for a circus skills workshop for schools. The resources were great and all activities were age-appropriate. So many children shone who normally find school a bit tricky.”
— Alex Chambers, Holme CE School
“Thank you Tom for a fantastic circus workshop at our Down’s Syndrome fun day. You showed great patience and skill. Your workshop was the highlight of the day.”
— Elsa, Down’s Syndrome Oxford
