Circus Performers & Entertainers for Hire in Yorkshire
Professional circus acts and performers to hire for events, parties and corporate shows across Leeds and beyond.
Book circus performers for your event, anywhere in Yorkshire and beyond — aerialists, fire acts, walkabout characters, stilt walkers, jugglers and acrobats. Whether it’s a wedding, a festival, a corporate do or a kids’ party, we’ll put together the right act for the space and the crowd.
What we can bring
Our performers cover most circus disciplines — aerial (silks, hoop, trapeze), fire, stilt walking, walkabout characters, juggling and acrobatics. Tell us the date, the venue and roughly what you’re picturing, and we’ll suggest acts that fit. Not sure what works? That’s fine — we do this a lot, and we’ll talk it through.
Events we cover
We perform at weddings, festivals, corporate events, private parties and community events, at budgets big and small. Send us your date and a few details and we’ll come back with options and a price.
Booking us supports Leeds circus
One thing worth knowing: Yorkshire Circus is a social-circus organisation, so hiring our performers puts paid work into Leeds’ circus community and helps keep our training space open. Good entertainment — and it goes somewhere.
Insured and risk-assessed: we hold public liability insurance up to £10 million and supply a tailored risk assessment and method statement (RAMS) for every event.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to hire circus performers?
The cost depends on which acts you book and how long you need them, so there’s no single figure. Send us your date and a bit about your event, and we’ll come back with options and a price. A single walkabout performer for a short slot sits at a very different level from a full aerial display, so every quote is built around what you actually need.
Do you provide insurance and risk assessments for venues and councils?
Yes. We hold public liability insurance up to £10 million, and we produce a tailored risk assessment and method statement (RAMS) for every event, which we supply ahead of the day. Venues and council event teams usually ask for both, so we have them ready as standard.
Which areas do you cover?
We’re based in Leeds and our performers travel across Yorkshire routinely — Wakefield, Huddersfield, Bradford, Halifax, York and Harrogate are all within our usual range, and we cover events beyond Yorkshire too. Give us the venue when you enquire and we’ll confirm travel as part of the quote.
