FREE EVENT
Have a go, watch the show, celebrate circus, celebrate youth.
To celebrate International Youth Day, Cirk Hes will present a free outdoor circus performance in Coronation Park, Helston on 12 August, featuring performers from our Gen A and NextGen Youth Circus programmes. Thanks to support from the South Kerrier Alliance CIC, the day will also include a free air and ground-based circus skills workshop and open jam for local young people, running 11am–1pm, followed by the show at 1.30pm.
Everyone is welcome to run away with the circus, have a go, and enjoy the celebration of local young circus talent. They ARE amazing, you WILL be amazed.

Eat, Sleep, Circus, Repeat! To mark International Youth Day, Cirk Hes are also running a 24-hour Cirkathon to raise £1,000 to fund their Youth Circus sessions for a month. Get involved and help support Helston’s brilliant community circus — watch this space for details on how you can help!
