Open Days & Visits

Our Degree Open Days are suitable for anyone interested in our (BA Hons) in Circus Arts Degree course.

Degree Open Days 2024/25

Degree Open Day

The next open day for our degree course will be running in our building on Thursday 28th November. We will be opening our doors so that you can experience what it is to be a National Centre for Circus Arts student and to help you determine if the National Centre is the right place for you.

The day will give you the opportunity to:

  • See classes as they happen
  • Take a tour of the building
  • Take part in a circus specialisation workshop*
  • Ask questions and chat to current students and staff
  • Learn about the admissions process and how to prepare for our auditions
  • Learn about the circus landscape and career pathways

*Please note that there are limited spaces for the specialisation workshop and places will be secured on a first come first serve basis.

How to Book

Please fill in our booking form to secure your place.

If you cannot make the November open day, there will be another one in early March.
