Farm Yard Circus

2.30pm – 4.30pm Circus Workshops

Farm Yard Circus is a high-impact circus theatre spectacle for audiences of all ages.

Widely accepted as one of the UK’s leading outdoor touring companies this show was named in the Outdoor Arts UK top 10 for 2023.

Expect a daring riot of astonishing acrobatics and juggling using hay bales, wheelbarrows and even an old tractor tyre! Thoughtfully woven together using physical theatre, folk dance and a boot-slappin’ live score this production tells an uplifting tale of overcoming our differences.

Audiences young and old will be utterly transported into this olde worlde farm universe to laugh, cry and hold their loved ones just that little bit closer.

You can meet the performers afterwards in their Circus Skills workshop, which will run on a drop-in basis from 2.30pm – 4.30pm.
