9. Can clients choose a circus party theme or decorations?

While clients can't fully dictate the overall party theme or decorations, they do have some flexibility. They can request specific outfits aligned with circus themes for all artists. It's important to note that, as tutors, we must prioritise practicality to ensure effective teaching, which may limit elaborate costume choices. However, stilt artists can be themed if they have the appropriate outfit. Your satisfaction is important, and we'll work within these considerations to create a memorable circus experience for your event.

No you don’t, you can hire the bus & the skills, or you can simply hire just the skills. This is particularly helpful if you do not have the space for the bus. The skills will still arrive to your location in a truck, as we need a vehicle large enough to carry the circus skills equipment. Please bear this in mind when you book as we will need access to a parking space at least for a truck.
