Quick answer: kids circus parties start from £350, circus skills workshops from £250 a half day (a full day is £500), and hen do and corporate sessions are quoted per group. Every quote is upfront, and because you book direct with the performer there’s no agency commission bolted on top.
Typical Starting Prices
These are honest starting points, not a fixed price list. Every booking is different, so we quote each one properly — but you should be able to see roughly where you land before you get in touch.
- Children’s circus party — from £350. A two-hour session with a high-energy circus show and then a full hands-on skills workshop. All equipment provided, every child takes part.
- UV glow party: priced below our standard circus party. A 90-minute glow-in-the-dark party for up to 30 children, with UV lighting, glow kit and music included. See UV glow parties.
- Circus skills workshop — from £250 for a half day, or £500 for a full day. Drop-in or structured sessions for schools, community groups, youth groups and events. All kit provided.
- School workshop day — quoted per day. We can run up to 250 pupils across a full day using parallel stations. Risk assessment supplied.
- Hen do circus session — quoted per group. Typically a 1.5 to 2 hour session for 6 to 30+ people.
- Corporate team building — quoted per event. Half-day and full-day formats, indoors or out.
- Walkabout and event entertainment — quoted per booking. Stilt walkers, jugglers, fire and UV shows.
- Face painting — from £150 for a session, on its own or added to a party.
What Changes the Price
Four things move a quote up or down, and we’ll always tell you which applies to you before you commit:
- How long you need us. An hour is an hour, a half day is a half day, and a full day is a full day. Longer bookings cost less per hour.
- How many people. One performer comfortably handles a party or a class group. Bigger groups, or a full school, need more kit and sometimes a second pair of hands.
- Where you are. Travel is free anywhere within 20 miles of Keynsham — that covers Bath, Keynsham, Yate, Thornbury, Weston-super-Mare and Clevedon. Beyond that, travel is 50p per mile.
- What you’re booking. A workshop is one thing, a fire show is another, and a full day of school sessions with 250 pupils is another again.
No Agency Commission
eclipseArts isn’t an agency and there’s no middleman. You book Tom, Tom turns up and runs the session. That means there’s no commission skimmed off the top of your fee, no booking fee, and no freelancer you’ve never spoken to arriving on the day. Thirty-plus years of performing and teaching, DBS-checked, £10 million public liability insurance.
