A Taste of Circus with Circartus on Wednesday 25 January will introduce students to circus tricks and tools in a fun and safe space. Participants will learn juggling, hula hoop, diabolo, plate spinning, aerial, floor skills and more.

At Candle Making with Alison Dunne on Saturday 4 February, participants will learn to make their own natural candles in cool, upcycled containers.
