Rediscover the heart of Hamilton

Family-friendly circus sessions

This summer, Garden Place will come alive with creativity and fun as Circus in the Centre brings a series of family-friendly circus sessions to the lawn.

These open-air sessions will offer a unique opportunity for whānau to explore the joy of circus in a welcoming and unstructured environment. Whether you're dropping by for a quick spin with a hula hoop or immersing yourself for the full two and a half hours to get your three-ball juggle, there’s something for everyone—regardless of age or experience.

This collaborative initiative is supported by Love the Centre and Creative Waikato and is hosted by the experienced team at Black Sheep Circus Entertainment.

In person lunchtime circus sessions.

Take a break from your screen, get a dose of fresh air, and discover just how fun (and good for you) circus skills can be. No need to book — just turn up and give it a go!

To kick 2025 off to a good start while the sun is still shining, Creative Waikato will be offering in person lunchtime circus sessions in Garden Place. These will be facilitated by professional circus performers and are a great opportunity to re-explore something that perhaps you haven’t done since you were a kid!

Designed for busy professionals and CBD workers, these sessions are a chance to get moving, refresh your mind, and try something new. No prior experience required, just a willingness to give it a go!
