About Circurama
Circurama is a Sunderland-based circus company whose children's parties turn the birthday child and their friends into the act. A typical party opens with a short circus show and warm-up games, moves into hands-on sessions where the children try skills such as plate spinning, juggling and balance props, and finishes with the group performing what they have learned for the parents. The format suits children aged six and upwards and works best in a church hall or community centre with room to move.
Alongside parties, Circurama offers workshops for schools and youth groups, walkabout circus characters and themed shows for fairs and festivals, covering Sunderland, Newcastle and the wider North East. The company states that all of its staff are fully insured and hold current Enhanced DBS checks.
