Simia Circus is a great way to spend the day exploring the adventure of the circus in the air and on the ground. Although each week has a main focus, to allow those attending all week to really develop their skills; for those popping in for the day, there is still plenty to learn and do. Each day is a mix of aerial, ground, games and craft. It's a fantastic, active day which everyone really gets involved in.

A hot meal will be served around midday to ensure they are all refuelled and ready to go again! Children need to be wearing sport style clothing eg leggings, t-shirts, tracksuit bottoms etc. Please bring water bottles and some snacks, but NO NUTS.
