Circus Explored: Bringing the big top fun to Cruinniú na nÓg

Cruinniú na nÓg is coming up on Saturday, 10 June and the gang at Irish Street Arts, Circus and Spectacle Network (ISACS) are getting us all in a spin with Circus Explored!

They are distributing 4,000 free Spinning Plates to every county in Ireland. Did you collect yours yet? If the answer is no, call into your library now - availability is limited! If the answer is yes, watch the videos below to learn from our young Circus Experts!

And you can head along to ISACS events all over the island of Ireland on 10 June to see if you have what it takes to perform your own circus act.

Visit Circus Explored to find out more!

And now that you have learned the basics, it's time to try some cool tricks!

Check out the second skills video below.

We are looking forward to seeing you spinning plates! Don't forget to share your progress with us – remember to tag us and use the hashtags listed below on your photos and videos!
