A good safety talk before starting, was very good at gaining and keeping the attention of young and parents. Took great care to give some of our very young people an exciting experience (age 4 and below). Parent full of support for how he keeps young people engaged for 3 hrs in the heat.

Steve was excellent for our half term workshop. The session featured a wide variety of different exercises and taught the participants many different skills. Steve also showed the group some impressive routines of his own and kept everyone entertained throughout. All of the participants really enjoyed themselves and we would definitely use Steve and Shooting Stars again in the future. Thank you..

Fantastic science facts that the children enjoyed learning.
WoW! What a fun way to learn about forces!
The mild peril gave the children an experience they will never forget,
A fabulous day in school that got everyone talking about science.

Many thanks, Paul, for running two excellent circus skills workshops for our Brownies and our SEND Girlguide group. You pitched each session absolutely spot on. The girls thoroughly enjoyed their plate spinning and flower stick routines and they all had fun in the "free time" session. There was plenty of variety so every girl was able to find something they enjoyed and the leaders too!.

Having your instructor at the event was extremely good and he appeared to be kept busy for the whole time he was present. Our only comment was that he was so popular that he could have done with having a second instructor. I believe that the first year you came to us we did have two instructors. We do not do these Fun Days very often, but would certainly be calling upon you again when we have another. [We did not make any charge for the children [and adults] who wanted to have a go as this was intended as something FOR the village, not as a money making event for the village Association]
Thank you.
Best wishes

The whole school thoroughly enjoyed our visit from Shooting Stars Circus Skills. The Science show was captivating and had us all sat on the edge of our seats! The links made to the Science curriculum were very clear and our presenter was excellent at ensuring the children were learning about forces without them even realisng. The follow up workshops were equally good - engaging, fun and exciting. Thank you very much for a memorable day..

Sarah was a charming, engaging young lady and a credit to your organisation. Despite operating solo she set to with a will and, proving extremely popular from the outset, continued professionally non-stop for the full 3 hours. Indeed, the public were enjoying our event so much that they were reluctant to leave so Sarah happily kept going beyond the agreed timings. It would not be untrue to say that Sarah’s contribution was a key element to a very successful Coronation event. We would definitely book her again..

This was a brilliant experience. Set up was slick and very well organised. Nick adapted easily to our needs and was in total control at all times. The activities were ideal for both the Beavers and the Cubs, who were all fully engaged at all times. He dealt with our large numbers brilliantly. The event was run with safety in mind and all rules were clearly explained and firmly reinforced. The resources were high quality and age appropriate. Nick demonstrated all the activities impressively and was encouraging and supportive when the children had a turn. It was very high energy and fast paced. We highly recommend Shooting Stars and our instructor..

Paul was amazing. He had all the Cubs & Adults laughing throughout the whole session.
The skills he demonstrated were fantastic and all I can say is WOW.
I loved that he had complete control over the Cubs without me having to step in. My Section Assistant was in heaven being allowed to join in.
I will try and get some photos over to you for your gallery.

We had circus skills at one of our District camps for three days. They were professional, booking couldn’t have been any easier and they kept in contact with us right up until the day. On the day they were engaging with the children, couldn’t of asked for a better experience.
The children ages from 4 years to 14 years, as well as the leaders absolutely loved it, Learning skills for life😁

Thank you so much.

Shooting Stars were great for our 7 years olds party (and lots of the adults enjoyed it too!). They got the children engaged in activities but also recognised when it was best to let them have some free time to try things out for themselves. Our entertainer was prompt and ensured that the children were safe but still having fun. Would definitely recommend!.

Paul delivered a circus skills workshop for our SEN youth club. Paul was punctual, likeable, and relaxed, delivering a workshop some distance away from where he is based in a professional and stress free manner. The workshop itself - including demonstrations, safety instructions, shared activities, and free use time - was delivered in a highly engaging, personable, and enriching way. Our Members - who have a range of additional needs - were able to practice hand eye coordination, body-awareness, improvement in stereotypical and repetitive behaviour, social involvement through mirroring, and teamwork. Above all, our Members were encouraged to have fun and socialise through a new experience which had the potential to boost confidence and foster friendships. We look forward to inviting shooting stars circus back to our youth club in the future..

We booked for our Group camp, The instructor, Marty was absolutely fabulous working with children from Beavers, Cubs and Scouts.
Marty adapted tasks for the different abilities of the children during the sessions, bringing it to close with a Circus skills show during which the children demonstrated their favourite skill of the things they had enjoyed throughout the day.
I'd highly recommend to everyone thinking of booking.
