Sensory-Friendly & SEND-Friendly Parties & Workshops
We want circus play to be open to everyone. Our equipment comes in various sizes to help all abilities take part, and our Circus Exploration Area is free-flow and self-paced, with no forced routines or turn-taking. If you'd like to talk through sensory needs, pacing, or group size before booking, just get in touch and we'll chat it through with you.
Lily has seen first-hand how much circus can open up for a child, whatever their ability looks like on any given day. When her own child was diagnosed as AuDHD, it deepened her understanding of what real accessibility looks like, and it's exactly why making sessions and parties genuinely accessible, not just accessible on paper, matters so much to her. Sensory needs, pacing, communication differences, whatever it is, just let us know and we'll build it in.
What We Offer
Every session can be adapted. Here's what that looks like in practice, and we're always happy to talk it through with you before you book. Every workshop, session and party entertainment is designed to be fun, safe, and individually adapted for each sensory need and energy level, learning and physical abilities.
01
Varied Equipment
Poi, hoops, juggling gear and more come in a range of sizes, so people of different abilities and confidence levels can all join in.
03
Space to Self-Regulate
There's room to step back, take a break, or watch before joining in, with no pressure. Everything is explained clearly from the start.
02
Free-Flow Exploration
Our Circus Exploration Area is self-paced with no set routines or turn-taking, so everyone can move, explore and try things at their own speed.
04
A Chat Before You Book
Tell us about sensory needs, pacing, or group size beforehand and we'll talk through how to make the session work for you.
Many thanks for providing two workshops for us now. Both have been thoroughly enjoyed by the children. Watching them make progress with different circus skills and how that boosted their confidence was wonderful to watch. They loves receiving a certificate too. This was a lovely extra. There was never any pressure from Lily and at the end most children were happy to ‘perform’ their new skill. For some of our children this was a major achievement.
The booking was so simple and effective and the events confirmed a week before which is reassuring, especially when you’ve booked so far in advance.
Thanks again and we’ll certainly re-book and recommend.

Lily spent the day at our summer BBQ held at Sussex County Cricket ground entertaining our vision impaired children and their families. The kids loved her energy, the bubbles and circus skills, and had a great time gaining confidence and enjoying a huge sense of fun and achievement. We cannot recommend highly enough :)

We were absolutely thrilled with how Friday went and can’t thank you enough for your wonderful contribution. We’ve had a lot of great feedback from parents and children who were there. We also raised £5000 for the school via our fair and Summer Raffle, which is a real bonus!

Lily was absolutely brilliant. She had the kids completely engaged from start to finish - laughing, participating and fully absorbed the whole time. Managing a group of 30 excited 5 year old children is no small feat, but she did it effortlessly and with such warmth and energy. We had fantastic feedback from both the kids and the parents afterwards. Highly recommend!! Lily thank you for making the party truly memorable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to the questions we get asked most about accessible circus sessions and parties.
01
Is it suitable for autistic or AuDHD children?
Yes. Equipment comes in adjustable sizes, the Circus Exploration Area is free-flow with no forced turn-taking, and there's always space to step back or watch before joining in.
03
Do you need to know about a child's needs before the day?
It helps, but it's not required. A quick chat beforehand means we can plan pacing, equipment and space in advance, though we're used to adapting on the spot too.
02
Can party bookings be adapted too, not just sessions?
Yes, every party can be adapted the same way sessions are. Just tell us about sensory needs, pacing or group size when you book and we'll build it in.
04
What ages and abilities can take part?
Circus For All sessions and parties are genuinely mixed-ability, welcoming children and adults of any age from 4 years upwards and any ability, with no pressure to join in a set routine.
