Join us for an exciting Circus Skills Extravaganza at Millom Recreation Centre, where participants will embark on a thrilling adventure to learn a variety of circus skills! Our workshop offers a fun and engaging atmosphere for children of all ages and abilities. Under the guidance of circus skills experts from Splats, who have been teaching and inspiring participants since 1991, children will explore an array of circus arts tailored to their skill level.
