Spectacular circus under a brick Big Top
CircusFest 2016 is back with three weeks of the most spectacular and extraordinary international and UK contemporary circus.
The festival features major world premieres, amazing new productions and street performances from the hottest names in circus. From performances that push the human body to its limits to discussions about the cultural significance of circus today.
Filling the Main Space the award-winning Finnish Race Horse Company bring the UK premiere of Super Sunday that will get your pulse racing and have you gasping for breath.
Next up Britain’s hottest circus company Barely Methodical Troupe fly into the Roundhouse with Kin, the world premiere of their brand new production.
Plus look out for our Take Part Weekend of workshops and learn acrobatics and street dance, aerial skills and the hula hoop.
