It’s that time of year when we’re gearing up behind the scenes for our End of Year Member Cabaret, so we thought we’d throw it back with this iconic moment from our member Lucy’s act last year 🤣😍🏳️‍🌈

Our annual cabaret is a celebration of our members and community, where we turn our beloved Drill Hall into a venue and perform a week of shows 🎪 In this much loved Women’s Circus tradition we open our doors wide, inviting the community in to celebrate and applaud our amazing members as they hit the stage with their wild and wonderful ideas.

To our members, EOIs to perform will be opening soon 👀 - we will be releasing much more info in the coming weeks. In the meantime start thinking of ideas!

To our community, join us in December to raise the roof in celebration!

Group pic from our mid year Trainer Day on the wee

Group pic from our mid year Trainer Day on the weekend! 📸😍 It was great to get a group of our circus trainers together to do some professional development and connection - with trainers teaching different classes across the week there’s not a lot of cross over between some of the team, so it’s important to create opportunities to learn, laugh and play together. We finished the day with a Lyra workshop for some upskilling for our aerial trainers! 💪🤩
