Community Open Doors Event
Saturday 8 March, 10:00am – 2:00pm
Back by popular demand, we are delighted to be hosting our FREE Community Open Doors event again for 2025!
Come along to this free, family-friendly day in our home at St. Paul’s Church and enjoy a range of interactive activities. The workshops will be curated by celebrated local creative Norman ‘Rubba’ Stephenson and hosted by Circomedia.
Children and young people can try their hand at a range of circus skills like aerial hoop, trapeze, juggling and tightwire, in our Youth Circus Have-a-Go sessions, led by our specialist Circus Skills Instructors; play to the rhythm in group African Drumming and Dance Workshops with St. Paul’s creatives Rubba and Blaggy; and enjoy a range of other engagement activities from creatives in our local community.
Experience the majesty of the Circomedia church. Coined the ‘wedding cake church’ due to its uniquely structured tower, and owned by the Churches Conservation Trust, this space has been home to the Circomedia Circus school for 20 years this year!
Our in-house Café Bar will be open throughout the day serving tea, coffee and soft drinks, and don’t forget to visit the food stall where local caterers will be serving up tasty treats at excellent prices.
Everyone is welcome – drop-in throughout the day and get involved.
