Degree Open Day

The next open day for our degree course will be running in our building on March 4th, 12pm-6pm. 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 part in a circus specialisation workshop*
  • Watch students’ performance pieces ‘in progress’ (TBC)
  • Ask questions and chat to current students and staff
