Circus Workshops

Earth Bound Misfits Ltd have been conducting circus skill workshops since 1995 and in that time have become one of Lincolnshires leading mobile circus arts tutition groups. We have developed our workshops to be a unique, fun, circus experience that absolutely anyone can join in with. Workshops can be conducted for children and adults, they can be part of any event including parties, fun days, fetes, festivals and school activities.

Our Circus Workshops come in two formats of delivery :-

Drop-In sessions

This is our most popular type of workshop, normally as part of a bigger event where the public can come and go as they please from the circus workshop area. This requires more members of the Misfit staff to carry out a safe workshop environment.

Structured Sessions

This is a Structured single workshop or series of workshops where the participants are taught the chosen skills step by step .

This means the participants will be in the workshop enviroment for the whole term of the lesson .
