The Circus Playground is 25 years old this year!
We have taught circus skills to hundreds of thousands of
children and adults over the years.
An entry level circus experience accessible to all ages.
We teach juggling, plate spinning, stilt walking, hula hooping, balance beam, ribbon twirling, balance wheels and more...
The Circus Playground is an opportunity to give circus a go, whether as first-timers, curious bystanders or well rehearsed novices.

Trained in the UK, Sid cut his teeth on the road with Captain Bob’s Circus before moving to Australia in the '90s. For 10 years, he co-ran the Aerial Lab circus training space at Carriageworks.
Sid programmes, directs, produces and performs a wide variety of circus entertainment. Sid runs the Circus Playground and Circusworks. With artist Andrea Davies, he also runs La Galerie Mobile.
