CloseAlbert & Friends are back in town this summer! For their fifth consecutive Summer Circus School, Albert & Friends promise a week of fun, frolics and exciting circus skills.
Children will spend the week experimenting with wire walking, trapeze skills, stilt walking, rolling globes and uni-cycling. Alternatively there are the gentler, but equally demanding skills of plate spinning, Diablo and juggling.
Working with Slovenia’s leading puppet company, Fru Fru, the young people will also be using their imaginations to create and develop characters for their circus theatre show, making masks and costumes.
At the end of the week, family and friends can come along to be dazzled by the fantastic new skills and colourful costumes in the Circus Showcase performance.
Albert & Friends encourages young people of all ages to explore and expand their potential through a unique, fun-filled mixture of circus skills, movement and costume making. The young people involved will finish the week with a whole new array of skills as well as some great new friends.
Showcase Fri 31 Jul 3pm FREE

Dear Sir/Madam,
I have just come across an article in The Leamington Times about the circus summer school. Do children have to attend for a full week or can they come along for just a couple of days. Also, what are the costs involved?
I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,

Hi there
The Circus School is for the full week - rather than something that children can come along to just part of. This gives the children involved the time to learn a whole range of skills and to develop them ready for the final performance on Friday.
Sorry if you've missed out this time - we do run one day events during half-term holidays throughout the year, so keep checking the website for updates.
