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.
