Come & Try Circus Day for kids, teens & adults

See what circus is all about

The best way to test the circus-waters is to dip your toe in. 

Our Come & Try Circus Days happen four times a year prior to each new term starting and offer you the opportunity to try circus with no strings attached.

Dare yourself to act on your circus dreams and try one of NICA Rec’s offerings designed for total beginners. Circus is an engaging way to work on your fitness and these programs are suitable for all ages and fitness levels – have a go on your own or grab a friend to share the fun!  

Try a single one-hour session or maybe a selection from the range of skills/apparatus we offer! You’ll get a taster of our regular term classes, meet our NICA Rec trainers and have a chance to ask questions about our class options.
