Here at the Philip Astley Centre we have hosted a series of popular circus skills workshops for visiting schools and home learners. Our professional performers Andrew Van Buren and Allyson have also been going into schools presenting our Philip Astley Circus Skills Workshops, which are specifically designed to not only be fun but also educational. Built around the story of local born military hero Philip Astley, the Original Ringmaster and Father of Modern Circus.

The Philip Astley centre is also offering strategy team building days to foster stronger bonds and innovative thinking among the team. Furthermore, the premises are also available for party hires and meetings, providing a unique and memorable backdrop for your special occasions and corporate gatherings.
