Engage Youth Circus started with a small group of young people meeting one evening a week in a community centre in 2000 and has continued to grow. Come and join one of our classes and be a part of the next generation of Engage students.
Engage Circus are excited to have moved their circus courses back to Cinderford to a new venue at the Cinderford Methodist Church which hopefully will be more permanent.
If you would like to book on to any of these sessions please email circus@artspacecinderford.org to show your interest and then a follow up email will be sent out with a link to payment details, registration forms (not applicable if you attended last term) and address of our new venue. We have limited spaces but if you know anyone that would be interested then please get them to get in touch.
