Interactive Circus Entertainment for Events & Festivals

Bring people together with a lively, hands-on circus experience. A little plate spinning, a lot of laughter — and something for every generation to have a go at.

SPLATS has been bringing circus fun to families, community groups and events since 1993. We work with organisers to fit the entertainment to the occasion, from a relaxed community afternoon to a busy festival day.

Turn a gathering into a circus

The beauty of circus play is that people don't have to sit still and watch. They can join in, try a trick, cheer each other on and come back for another go.

01 · Drop in and play

Festivals & fairs

A welcoming circus area where visitors can come and have a go at balancing, spinning, tossing and twirling.

02 · Make a day of it

Community celebrations

Something shared by children, parents, grandparents and friends — a natural place for people to meet, laugh and join in.

03 · A flexible programme

Family & holiday events

We can discuss open-access circus sessions or more structured activities, depending on your audience, venue and timetable.

What happens?

Try a trick. Surprise yourself.

Guests can discover all sorts of circus skills. There might be floating juggling scarves, spinning plates, diabolo, ribbons, poi, feather balancing or a balancing challenge — always adapted to the people taking part.

Some people pick up a new trick straight away; others just enjoy the attempt. Either way, the pleasure is in having a go together.

For organisers: we can talk through the mix of equipment and how sessions should run for your space and expected numbers.

Designed around your event

Open circus area or hosted sessions?

We can run more structured groups or an open-style event workshop. On the original SPLATS event programme, formal groups are usually up to around 35 people, with larger numbers possible for open sessions by arrangement.

From a local summer fair to a bigger family celebration, tell us the location, dates, audience and kind of atmosphere you want to create. We'll suggest a suitable approach.
