CircusLeeds Runs Circus Skills & Aerial Classes in Leeds, England
Formerly known as Leeds Children’s Circus, we’ve been around since 1989 and now offer classes for both children and adults. We are a registered charity run by a mixture of amazing volunteers and superb circus artists who are passionate about circus, community and bringing people together to have fun.

We offer a safe and supportive environment for everyone in Leeds to learn the art of circus skills. From learning to juggle for the first time to taking part in really challenging aerial practice, there’s something for everyone.

We run circus skills and aerial classes for beginners, improvers, children, and adults. Regular classes, workshops, performances and projects take place at our base in Harehills Lane Baptist Church where we have a very large cupboard full of circus kit: from diablo to unicycles, tight-wire to juggling balls, there’s lots of stuff to try out. Upstairs in our gym, we run aerial classes where you can learn trapeze, silks, and hoop.

Circus Themed Events & Parties in Leeds
We also take circus out into the community. From events such as Leeds Light Night and Otley Show to children’s parties, our circus artists are fully trained in working with all ages and all abilities.

Centre for Circus Arts in Leeds
We’re currently funded by the National Lottery Community Fund and we have big ideas about our future. We’d like to be a centre for circus arts in Leeds and we’re expanding our range of classes and workshops to offer more opportunities to more people. And we’re working with more volunteers and circus artists from the region.

If you’d like to find out more, or get involved in our exciting future, please do get in touch, we’d love to hear your ideas.
