Circus arts encompass acrobatics, aerial arts, juggling, object manipulation, clowning, physical theatre and the full spectrum of contemporary circus performance. The Blue Mountains has a thriving circus community with a strong tradition of community circus, independent performance companies and professional artists working across touring shows, festivals and community events.
Blue Mountains circus artists are available for festivals, school events, corporate functions, outdoor performances and public activations. When booking circus performers, discuss the performance environment carefully: overhead clearance for aerial acts, ground surface for tumbling, audience proximity, power requirements and whether the act is self-contained or requires technical support.

Are Blue Mountains circus artists available for children's parties and family events?
Yes, many circus performers in the region specialise in family-friendly entertainment and offer interactive workshops, roving performances, and stage shows suitable for all ages. These artists often provide circus skills workshops where children can learn juggling, plate spinning, or other fun circus activities. When contacting performers, be sure to discuss your event type and audience to ensure the act is appropriate.
How far in advance should I book a circus performer for my event?
For peak seasons like summer holidays, festival periods, and Christmas events, it's recommended to book circus performers at least 6-8 weeks in advance. Popular artists often have busy schedules, especially for weekend dates. For smaller weekday events or last-minute bookings, some performers may have availability with shorter notice, so it's always worth reaching out to inquire.

Most Blue Mountains circus performers are willing to travel to Sydney, the Central Coast, Western Sydney, and other nearby regions for performances. Travel fees may apply depending on the distance and equipment transport requirements. When browsing the MTNS MADE member search, check individual performer profiles for their service areas or contact them directly to discuss your venue location.
