🎪 WOBBLE CLUB: Come for the wobble. Stay for the balance.

Tonight we launch something new at Cirk Hes…

Shoal Sessions are our way of opening the space to locally based and visiting professional artists to share specialist skills, unusual disciplines and fresh ideas with our community — because, frankly, variety really is the spice of circus life. ✨

And first into the Shoal? WOBBLE CLUB.

Join us tonight, Wednesday 14 October, and again on Wednesday 28 October, for two hours devoted to the wonderfully addictive art of tightwire walking.

⚖️ 7–9pm
🎪 Adults & young people aged 10+
🤸 Suitable for first-timers and those wanting to improve existing skills
🎟️ Discounts for Cirk Hes staff & members and Youth Circus members
💚 Concessions for people on low incomes
👫 Sibling discount available

Whether you're curious to try something completely new, developing as a young performer, studying physical performance, or simply fancy spending Wednesday evening doing something a little less ordinary — come and find your wobble.

Shoal Sessions are about giving our community, students and emerging artists access to a constantly changing mix of skills, teachers and creative possibilities.

Different artists. Different skills. Same Shoal. 🐟🎪

👉 Book via our class calendar on the Cirk Hes website.

🔥 FRIGHT NIGHT is coming to The Acorn… and this is just a taste. 🔥
If you like your circus with a darker edge, a live-show buzz and a little Halloween mischief, Fright Night is for you. 🎪🖤
Cirk Hes and Airfish Circus are joining forces at The Acorn Theatre, Penzance for a night of bold circus performance, theatrical chaos and suitably spooky surprises.
This clip of our witch 'Bama' gives you a flavour of the kind of live energy we love creating — but you’ll need to be in the room for the real thing. 👀

🎟️ Tickets are available now
👉 Book via the Events page on the Cirk Hes website, or direct via the Acorn's website.
👉 Or find the event and book through Facebook
Bring your friends. Tell your friends. Why not dress for the occasion too?

This Halloween, don’t just get frightened… get Fright Night. 🎃🔥

Ha ha ha with the help of Christine, Nikki, and some fabulous volunteers we finally have them in front of the camera! Our Head Zookeeper Nome prefers to do things live and in person, so make the most of it folks. Spread the word for us on how and why 'Circus' works!

Our Nome is also the South Kerrier CAP Cultural Ambassador for @artswelluk

As such they are always on the look out for creative, artistic, culturally enriching actvities to add to the Artswell UK Directory for South Kerrier CAP.

Drop us a DM if you, your club, group, or your organisation offers eligible activities for the directory, and would like to be included. It's free, and is a really helpful resource for Cornwall's Social Prescribers, Linkworkers, and GP's Surgeries.

Anyone can access the Directory, and it's an easy Google search. #inclusivecircus #artswelluk #whycircusworks #socialcircus #communitycircus

FREE BSL WORKSHOP delivered by @oh.k.darling, of @thelonelyclownclub ..."Nearly a year ago I was awarded an Arts Council England grant to support my practice, and now it’s time to share some of that with you all!

On September 25th @ 19:00 I’m holding a FREE BSL workshop for circus and theatre tutors at Cirk Hes in Helston. Looking at sign language as a tool for not only speaking to students who use it but for communicating across noisy spaces to other tutors.

Spaces are limited so please message me or Nome directly if you want to attend!

More about what I’ve been up to later!

Thank you @aceagrams for supporting me this year I am so lucky" Go to our website events page to book your spot. Link in our bio. by @airfish.circus
