Football Freddie

A warm and witty show for children and their grown-ups about football, team-work and the joy of joining in.

Freddie Farren is a little girl who loves football but is too nervous to join in a game in her local park. Out of a magical photograph steps Freddie’s Great-Great-Great Uncle Fred; a real footballer from the olden days. Uncle Fred takes Freddie back in time where they re-live footballing glories of old. Freddie renews her confidence and enthusiasm and everyone joins in a good old-fashioned kick around.

Saturday 26th Oct 2pm. St Barts Church, Armley. 

Yorkshire Circus – Winter Showcase and Fire Jam Open Stage

As we head into winter for 2024, we wanted to take this opportunity to invite you to the Yorkshire Circus Winter showcase.

Normally every year we try to host an open fire jam as an opportunity to come together as a community and celebrate the year, but this time we wanted to add more of what Yorkshire Circus does and celebrate what has been an amazing year for our performers, workshop leaders and all the participants that have taken part in our sessions both in our space and across the country.
