Free Taster Classes

Ever thought about giving circus a try? Our free taster classes are the perfect way to see what it’s all about. At Newcastle Circus Arts, we know how transformative circus can be—it’s fun, challenging, and can really change the way you see yourself. Now, it’s your turn to experience it for yourself.

We know what you’re thinking—circus? It might sound a bit mad, but honestly, you don’t need to be a pro or have any special skills. Our taster sessions are for everyone, whether you’re completely new or just curious about trying something different.

Why give circus a try?

It’s not just about showing off a few tricks (though that’s always a bonus!). Circus is about pushing yourself, building confidence, and discovering what you’re capable of, all while having a laugh & joining a dead canny community. You’ll get to try something new in a welcoming environment. And it’s for all ages and abilities—everyone’s welcome, no matter your background.

What to expect in a circus class?

We have classes for everyone from aerial silks and juggling to acrobatics and balancing. Pick something you like the look of! There’s no pressure, just a chance to explore and see what you enjoy. Our friendly instructors will guide you through, so even if you’ve never done anything like this before, you’ll be in safe hands.

Why not give it a go?

We’ve seen how circus can inspire and open up new possibilities for people, and we’d love for you to experience that too. The best part? Our taster classes are completely free. No strings attached—just come along, maybe bring a mate, and see what circus can do for you!
