Events

Circus Explored is so excited to invite young people from all across the island of Ireland to join us for them for the first year of their three-year Circus Explored adventure!!

Circus Explored is a call to action for young people to dive into circus activities, develop new skills, and unlock their creativity.

This year, they will be hosting Circus Picnics in :

• Cloughjordan
• Galway
• Dublin
• Derry
• Cork
• Antrim

These events offer a fantastic opportunity for children and teens to explore circus in a fun, supportive environment. Led by the circus school partners—Galway Community Circus, Dublin Circus Project, Cloughjordan Circus Club, Circus Factory-Cork, In Your Space Circus-Derry, and Circusful-Belfast—these gatherings will inspire young people and introduce them to the colourful world of Circus!

In the lead-up to Cruinniú na nÓg, Circus Explored is also launching regional outreach projects that combine Circus & Story in collaboration with Local Authorities. These sessions will offer young participants a unique and enriching experience, blending physical activity with creative expression through movement, storytelling, and words. 

Circus Explored strongly believes in enabling cross-community cultural experiences for young people across the island and through the Shared Island Initiative, they will connect young circus artists from all corners of the island, encouraging them to share ideas, form new friendships, and strengthen ties between youth circus organisations through the Shared Island Youth Exchanges.
