A new home for Circus in the North East

Welcome to Circus Central

Share the journey: This website will introduce you to the North East Circus Development Trust and keep you informed about the development of Circus Central into a professional standard circus training facility in Shieldfield, Newcastle. Circus Central, once fully operational, will be the NE’s hub for youth, community and professionals circus training. We are running a series of Pilot projects at the moment – including: a youth Circus performing troupe, an artist in residency programme, professional classes all of which benefit from the new rig in the church hall.

Share the fun: Find out more about workshops and training on the Classes page.
