About

Roll up! Roll up! Join us for a host of circus themed family fun celebrating World Circus Day at the Philip Astley Centre. Philip Astley, the inventor of modern circus was born in Newcastle-under-Lyme and we are celebrating this day in his birthplace with a FREE, all day event full of classic & comtemporary circus activities, aerial performances, crafts and games. So it is appropriate to engage with local people and have fun learning more about the circus and have a go at some circus skills and more. We would absolutely love for you and your family to join us!
