Bedfordshire Beavers Paul was fantastic. We had 3 age groups across the night and the workshops were adapted to suit all. Engaging, fun and educational - couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Sea Scout Leader 22nd January 2025
Oxfordshire Scouts Paul had a fantastic way with the sea scouts - he managed behaviour really well without being like a school teacher - they were captivated.
He kept a group of 25 children aged 10-12 entertained and busy for 2 hours. Really good fun, we learnt some fantastic skills - he broke down the stages of learning to juggle and do Diablo really clearly at a pace everyone could keep up with.
Highly recommended - he is coming back to do the older 25 kids next week!.

West Sussex School Another brilliant workshop. The children loved learning how to spin plates and Paul ensured all children were successful. There was plenty of time for the children to also explore the different resources. We have been using shooting stars for the last 5 years and have never been disappointed. Thank you.

Group Lead Volunteer 9th January 2025
Greater London Scouts The young people (and adults) had a fabulous evening with Paul learning a variety of circus skills. His careful instruction ensured that everyone was able to achieve the skills throughout the evening and no one was left behind.
Such was the enthusiasm that Paul generated, two of the Scouts have returned after the Christmas Break with a diablo and flower stick that they had received for Christmas (a last minute request to their Parents after our evening with Paul). Each had learnt some additional skills based on what they had first learnt with Paul..

Greater London Scouts Another amazing experience. The Beavers and Cubs were led with enthusiasm and pace by our instructor Nick and the activities were tailored to their different age groups. The range of equipment was excellent and they were shown how to use all equipment safely. We are a big group but our instructor kept them all on task and having fun the whole time. The booking process was simple and all communication was dealt with promptly. I really can't recommend this company highly enough..

Somerset School Holiday Activities Steve’s circus skills workshop for our group of 30 children aged 4 - 10 yrs and their parents had them all fully engaged from the moment they came into the room. The sessions were highly successful and hugely enjoyable.
Steve’s thoughtfully structured sessions, his exciting and well organised kit and his very clear teaching kept the children involved throughout the two hour session. When he spotted a child who needed more help or encouragement he was there! Parents were encouraged to join in and they did so.
Great fun was had by all.
We will be booking Steve again..
