Half term holiday club

Circus Skills Holiday Clubs – May Half Term

This May half term, Greentop Youth Circus is hosting three exciting Circus Skills Holiday Clubs at our Greentop Community Circus Centre – join us for one, two, or all three days of aerial adventure, creativity, and movement.

Designed for young people aged 7–16, our holiday clubs welcome complete beginners and experienced circus enthusiasts alike. Activities are progressive and tailored to each child’s ability, so skills can be developed and built upon across multiple days. Families are warmly encouraged to book more than one session for the fullest experience.

What’s Included Each Day

Every day offers a full programme of circus skills, including:

  • Aerial hoop
  • Trapeze
  • Silks
  • Floor-based circus skills (a blend of dance, acrobalance, and manipulation skills)

We begin and end each day with fun warm-ups, warm-downs, and group games to get everyone energised, connected, and ready to fly.

Our experienced tutors create a supportive, inclusive environment where every child can explore at their own pace and discover what they’re capable of.
