A summary
Join us at The Oak Circus Centre this Easter for dynamic afternoon circus sessions designed for young people aged 10–16 years. These sessions offer a challenging and inspiring circus experience, giving participants the chance to develop skills, strength, and confidence in a fun and supportive training environment. Participants will explore a wide range of circus disciplines including juggling, trapeze, tight wire, hula hoops, acrobatics, human pyramids, and circus-based games, with opportunities to build skills progressively over the sessions. Circus training supports physical development such as strength, coordination, balance, flexibility, and body awareness, while also encouraging resilience, teamwork, creativity, and self-confidence. We offer a mixture of paid and funded places for this programme. Funded places are provided through the Big Norfolk Holiday Fun (BNHF) programme and are aimed at young people in receipt of benefits-related free school meals. Participants attending on funded places will receive a free nutritious lunch.

FAQ
What do I need to bring - A water bottle, extra layers with warm socks, we operate in a church and it can be cold. What should I wear - Comfortable stretchy clothes that you can easily move in and go upside down in. No zips, buckles, or jewellery as this can hurt you, others or damage the equipment. Is the activity drop off - Yes, but parents are also welcome to stay and watch. Where can I park - We are located in the Norwich city centre and encourage you to walk, bike, public transport here if you can. Limited paid on street parking available outside the building. Drop off is not normally a problem as it's a quiet cul-de-sac. Can my SEN/D child join - We welcome any children who can join in a regular group class and participate in structured group activities without additional support. We often run SEND specific sessions which may be more suitable. Get in touch with us at info@theoakcircuscentre.org if you are unsure. 121 support is possible through HAF funding if approved by the funder, but must be arranged and approved in advance. We are a short-breaks provider.

Cancellation Policy
Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.Paid places - if you cannot attend we can move you to an alternative day or give you a refund only if you contact us at least 24hrs in advance of the class start time.

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
