Come and see world class circus variety, be taught circus skills by professional circus performers and trainers, compete for big prizes in our talent quest, see the seaside markets come alive with impromptu Street Theatre, help to create a living mural or just hang out at the festival site and soak up the atmosphere. Most importantly, laugh, have fun and try something new, we know you’ll love it."
