“We hired Circles Sensible for our 70th Platinum Jubilee Celebrations and it was a brilliant day. James was a wonderful performer: he was fantastic with the children making them smile at feel at ease; he performed an enthralling assembly that was a spectacle; taught the children many great skills and provided exceptional entertainment as part of our picnic. We would strongly recommend Circus Sensible”

"Just wanted to give some positive feedback for Stu who was at our Abraham Moss Health Event yesterday!
Stu was absolutely brilliant, he arrived on time and got everything setup really quickly to be ready for the crowd of kids waiting to get into the Sports Hall for the Circus Skills Workshop and he stayed right until the very end of the event and overall throughout the afternoon Stu managed everything really well and kept it high energy to entertain everyone taking part and all the kids had a great time so thank you!

Bertram Tennis Club, Wirral

“Circus Sensible were an added attraction to our Centenary Open Day at the Tennis Club and proved to be a great hit with adults and children alike. Obby arrived on time and entertained everyone with his skills and tricks - the children especially loved the hoops, diabolos and juggling balls and all of them went away having learned new circus skills. Thank you for helping to make our 100th birthday celebrations such a success!” Bertram Tennis Club, Wirral

Woodlands School, Formby

“Circus Sensible was simply fantastic. They came into our school the day before our Circus show and delivered circus skills workshops to all the children from nursery to Y6. What a fabulous time everyone had! Juggling clubs, walking wheels, plate spinning, stilt walking, flower stick juggling, hoola-hooping, static unicycling – the children had a great time honing their skills. The workshop was brilliant. We had 2 performances on the Saturday. Circus Sensible captivated the audiences with a mixture of silliness & skill. There was lots of cheering and shouting, great engagement with the audience and even the adults were laughing and smiling and thoroughly enjoying themselves. The 2 days really brought the whole school community together and the feedback we have received from the audiences has been beyond positive and everyone had a fantastic time.”

PHX Training, Kendal, Cumbria

“ We had the pleasure of hosting Andy, the circus performer, for a day of entertainment, and he was absolutely fantastic! Andy brought an electrifying energy to our event and left everyone in awe with his remarkable skills. Throughout the day, Andy showcased an impressive array of talents, from jaw-dropping juggling acts to mesmerizing unicycling. His performance captivated us, keeping us all engaged and enthralled from start to finish. Not only was Andy incredibly skilled, but he also demonstrated a professional and personable demeanor. He interacted effortlessly with our guests, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that added to the overall enjoyment of the day. Andy's passion for his craft was evident in every moment of his performance, and his enthusiasm was contagious. His professionalism, talent, and charm made him an absolute pleasure to work with, and we would highly recommend him to anyone seeking top-notch entertainment for their event.”

His methods of teaching the basics of scarf juggling and feather balacing ensured that all children succeeded and were engaged. The variety of equipment he brought was vast and the children really enjoyed the opportuinity to try so many different skills. A brilliant morning - thank you! “
