Circus Olympics: Free
Circus Olympics is the ultimate test of skill, silliness, and teamwork! Gather your squad and go head-to-head in a series of thrilling, wacky, and occasionally serious circus challenges. From high-flying acrobatics to juggling showdowns, balance battles, and mystery feats, every round will push your creativity, coordination, and courage to the limit. Whether you’re a seasoned circus star or a complete beginner, there’s a challenge for everyone. Who will take home the glory (and the bragging rights)? Join us for a day of fun, laughter, and friendly competition at Circus Olympics!
You can join as a particpant, or come along as an audience member to watch all of the fun.
How does it all work?
Teams will be decided on the day by the organiser, and we will aim for an equal mix of skills, experience, and age in each team.
Then, there will be a series of events where you will choose people from your team to represent for that activity. Sometimes it will be solo events, sometime duos, sometimes trios, etc.
For example, an event could be announced as a tumbling race. Each team selects one person, and then you find out that it is a forward roll race, and the two people compete with the given rules on the day.
There will also be all team events.
We keep a tally of points, and finish with a winner.
There will be a mix of serious and silly events throughout the afternoon, and the events will be adapted to the people involved.

Contained Circus Show: Free
Directed by 12-year-olds Abigail Edwards and Delilah Fisher, Contained is a daring and heartfelt exploration of what it means to break free from the walls we build around ourselves. Through breathtaking circus skills and raw, playful energy, young performers navigate the fear and excitement of stepping beyond their comfort zones. In a space where risk meets trust, and failure fuels growth, Contained celebrates the courage to embrace the unknown. This is a show about pushing boundaries, discovering new strengths, and finding freedom in the unexpected.

Behind The Throws Circus Show: $10
Juggling is more than just keeping objects in the air—it’s about perseverance, passion, and the people who shape us. In his debut solo show, Behind The Throws, 20-year-old Jasper Fleer takes you on a journey through the highs and lows of his juggling career. With breathtaking skill, heartfelt storytelling, and a touch of humor, Jasper shares the moments and mentors that have inspired him to keep going, no matter what. Whether you’re a circus lover or just someone who admires dedication, this is a show that will leave you in awe—and maybe even reaching for a set of juggling balls yourself!
