On 6 June, six Circus Céilí events took place across the island of Ireland as part of Cruinniú na nÓg, the national day of free creativity for young people. Events were hosted in Cloughjordan, Cork City, Galway City, Naul, Carrickfergus, and Derry by our partners Galway Community Circus, Dublin Circus Project, Cloughjordan Circus Club, Circus Factory-Cork, In Your Space-Derry, Circusful-Belfast.
The events were open to young people and their friends and families, with no previous experience required. Led by our Circus Explored partners, each Circus Céilí reflected its local community while contributing to a shared celebration of circus taking place across the island.
