Registration & Fees

Registration for our membership-based Youth Circus programme

The Circus year starts in September and runs to June every year. Classes run for around 30 weeks and participants learn a variety of circus skills in each class. There are typically 12 weeks in the autumn term (September to December) and 18 weeks in the spring term (January to June).

In June/July, we open registration for the next calendar year to current members only. Members are emailed and sent a text to say that they have 3 weeks to register their child/children. If a current member does not register in the 3-week period, we will not continue to hold their space. After the 3-week grace period current members can still register however spaces are offered on a first-come first-served basis and subject to availability.

Registration throughout the year

Once classes have started it is still possible to join the Youth Circus programme throughout the year at these times:

• After the October midterm break
• After Christmas holidays
• After the Easter holiday

Registration is subject to available spaces. Spaces in classes will be advertised through our email newsletter and on social media. You can sign up for our email newsletter here.

Registration for Adult (18+), Toddler and Family Circus Classes

Our Adult, Toddler and Family Circus classes typically run for about 12 weeks in autumn term (September to December) and 18 weeks in spring term (January to June). The amount of weeks varies based on what day the class falls on and public holidays. Registration for these classes is done by term. Registration for autumn term typically opens in August/September, and registration for spring term typically opens in December/January. Members (those previously enrolled in these classes) have the option to register first before classes are open to the public. Once classes are open to the public, spaces will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.
