Big Top Days for Schools and Events Alsager and Nationwide

Comedy Circus Shows

Our Shows are Comedy Circus, with lots of audience participation and hilarious for children AND adults alike (or so we're told) Shows can be up to an hour long and up to three performances per day. We have several teams of performers so we can come back year after year and keep things fresh.

Circus Workshops

Big Top Days in Alsager also include Circus Skills Workshops. They can be structured, for school days, in which case we can run workshops in up to three spaces at once, or for weekend events we run a drop in workshop outside, which can continue even while the Shows are on if necessary. Skills include Juggling, Plate spinning, Diabolo, Devilstick, Poi and lots more.

Lady Barn House School, Cheadle

“ Can I just say what an amazing day we have had! Obbi was amazing and has kept the children engaged all day. His lovely nature and way with the children was welcomed by the children and the staff alike.
We will definitely be booking again in the future and will highly recommend you.
Please pass this on to whoever needs to know and be sure to tell Obbi that I have emailed you singing his praises. I did tell him and we hugged at the end and all the children have had a ball.”

Upton Priory School, Macclesfield

" I would like to express my gratitude to all at Circus Sensible for the Fantastic day you gave everyone at Upton Priory. The children thoroughly enjoyed every second.
The children and their diabolo's have transformed playtimes, with the children happily sharing and teaching each other new tricks. It has given them a focus and activity during chill time. I cannot thank you enough for the entertainment and promotion of simple skills and basic fun Circus Sensible have introduced to the children. Thank you "

Reedness Primary School

“ just thought I would take the time to let you know about our Big Top experience was on Monday…………………. IT WAS FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Andy and Oliver did you proud. They were great with the children and staff from the start to the end of the day. We laughed, cried {at some of there bad jokes} but loved the whole experience. The show they put on at the beginning was brilliant and enjoyed by all. They then taught the children a whole range of skills and learnt every childs name by the end of the day!
We had a parent show at 2pm {our first experience of inviting parents to a school event for 18 months!} and the turn out was incredible. All parents and grandparents joined in working with the children and the performance lasted about 80 minutes! The feedback from parents was just so good and my staff had one of the best days they have ever had! Please can this be sent to the boss/owner of the company as I think you all deserve some credit for making this day so memorable! “

Whirley Primary School, Macclesfield, Cheshire.

“ I really don't know where to start... We have had the most amazing day with James today for your circus day. James was absolutely fantastic from start to finish, he was just faultless. The children were engaged from the minute they sat down, right up until the end of the day when we came back together for our show. The way James engaged with the children was perfect, as well as his explanations of how to use the equipment being clear and concise. I have had 12 emails from parents this evening telling me how their children have come home today saying how much fun they had and how good the day was. We even had a comment of 'Today has been the best day ever, I just haven't stopped smiling!’ I really don't know what else to say other than I couldn't rate the company and James any more highly. Thank you SO much for making 60 children, very happy today! “

Aldford Primary, Chester.

" Thank you so much for yesterday. The children all had a fantastic time. It was lovely to see even the quietest of pupils become so animated and involved in your sessions. Also it was interesting to watch the 'cool' Year 6's drop their guards and throw themselves into the activities with such gusto! "

Bishop Heber School, Cheshire

" Just a brief letter to say thank you for the input of your team into Activity Week at Bishop Heber. Could you please pass on our sincere thanks to Neil, who did an absolutely amazing job of both entertaining and instructing the pupils (and Staff!!) with his Circus Skills workshops on Monday. The Year 9 pupils involved in the workshops really enjoyed themselves and took away some great memories of the day. They learnt some valuable and useful lessons and can hopefully put these to productive use in the future. There were very many positive feedback comments about the day, both from pupils and staff, who also enjoyed the activities. Once again, thank you to you and Neil for your time and enthusiasm and we hope that you can be involved again in future years ”

Brain Training

"Complex tasks such as juggling produce significant changes to the structure of the brain, according to scientists at Oxford University.
In the journal, Nature Neuroscience, the scientists say they saw a 5% increase in white matter - the cabling network of the brain." In brief, learning a new skill such as Juggling can hard wire our brains to work better and faster! Circus skills help develop and improve concentration skills. This is particularly evident in those children with shorter attention spans. When we run Circus skills workshops in schools the teachers are often amazed that one or more children who usually have a problem concentrating are doing better than anyone else in the class! Learning Circus skills also offers great benefits in terms of physical co-ordination and physical fitness. Circus workshops fit very well into the school curriculum under PE and co-ordination development. In fact there are many areas where Circus workshops offer great opportunities for curriculum enrichment.
