Circus Skills: Dragonfly Festival
Have a go at juggling, poi swinging, diablo, devil stick, and learn to balance like a dragonfly with a balancing pole and feathers. Plus, staff-spinning and plate-spinning!
Step into a world of playful motion this summer and let your imagination take flight with expert guidance from Circus Antics. Inspired by the vibrant colours, dazzling agility and perfect balance of dragonflies, these hands‑on circus workshops invite families to move, wobble, spin and perform, all surrounded by the beauty of nature.
Whether you’re mastering a juggling trick, testing your balance, or spinning plates, these Dragonfly Festival circus workshops celebrate the joyful movements that dragonflies do best.
Drop in and take part in a range of fun, accessible circus‑style activities designed for curiosity, creativity and confidence.
All activities are hands‑on and informal, encouraging children (and grown‑ups!) to explore balance, movement and colour, just like dragonflies skimming over water or balancing on reeds.
