Blackpool Circus School is a group of Circus Artists and interested local people who are passionate about circus and want Blackpool to have its own Circus School.

Our long term plan is to have our own premises that children, young people and adults can come to learn all sorts of circus skills and learn how to perform them. The current team consists of former Circus Performers, Circus Managers, Teachers, Accountants and Youth Workers.
