Join us this winter for The Oak Circus Centre's All Access Arts SEND Holiday Activities! Together with local arts experts, we’re bringing you an exciting mix of circus skills like juggling, trapeze, hula hooping, hammock, slackline, and trampette, plus theatre games, movement fun, and creative visual arts. Designed with accessibility and fun at the heart, the sessions are aimed specifically for children and youth with SEND needs.

It’s flexible, inclusive, and all about having a great time—so come and join the fun!

Participants need to wear WARM flexible clothing that is comfortable to move in and not a problem for going upside down, preferably covering the legs for protection for aerial work. The venue is a church and can be cold in the winter so participants should wear lots of layers and thick socks or indoor shoes that they can use on the training floor.
Children should bring a water bottle, but we can provide water if they forget. Funded places have a hot meal automatically provided. Please let us know if you child has any food requirements if we are catering for them.
