Christmas at Throwley Yard: Free Circus Fun for Sutton
We were delighted to be part of the Christmas celebrations at Throwley Yard in Sutton, an event organised by iBento Events and Enjoy Sutton. The event brought the community together for a festive afternoon and evening, with a Christmas market, a tree switch-on in Manor Park and plenty of entertainment for families. Our job was to bring the circus, with free circus skills workshops and giant bubbles for everyone who came along.
Free community events like this are some of our favourite bookings. Families who might never book a circus workshop for a party get to try juggling, plate spinning and diabolo for themselves, and children leave with a new skill and a big smile. It is a brilliant way for a town centre to say thank you to the people who use it.
What Happened on the Day
Our team set up a circus skills area where children and adults could drop in, pick up a prop and get started. Our tutors showed everyone the basics and then helped them build on what they could do. Some children mastered spinning a plate on a stick within minutes; others spent ages working on a juggling pattern and were thrilled when it finally clicked.
Alongside the workshop, our giant bubbles kept the crowd entertained. Even on a chilly winter day, bubbles look magical, especially as the light fades and the Christmas lights come on. They are a great way to draw people towards the activity area, and they give younger children who are not quite ready for juggling something to chase and enjoy.
Why Circus Works at Christmas Events
- It is interactive. Visitors are not just watching; they are joining in, which keeps them at the event for longer.
- It suits every age. Toddlers chase bubbles, children learn tricks and adults often have a go too.
- It adds atmosphere. Costumed performers, bubbles and LED props make a space feel festive and busy.
- It is flexible. We can work in a market square, a car park, a shopping centre or a school hall.
Christmas Entertainment We Offer
Christmas is one of our busiest seasons. As well as drop-in circus skills workshops and giant bubbles, we provide stiltwalkers in festive costumes, including our much-loved stiltwalking Christmas trees, along with LED glow performers who look fantastic at evening light switch-ons. For schools we offer end-of-term circus workshops and assembly shows, and for businesses we offer Christmas party entertainment and team building sessions.
Our performers are based across the UK, from London and Brighton to Bristol, Leeds, Sheffield, Manchester, Kendal and Newcastle, so we can reach most Christmas events without large travel costs.
A Few Highlights
It was lovely to see whole families learning together. Parents who started out holding their children’s coats were soon trying the diabolo themselves, and a few grandparents proved to be naturals at plate spinning. As the evening drew in and the lights came on in Manor Park, the giant bubbles caught the glow of the Christmas lights and made for some really special photos. Moments like these are why we love community events so much.
Working With Event Organisers
We work with event companies, councils, Business Improvement Districts and community groups to plan entertainment that suits the space and the crowd. We can provide a single performer for a couple of hours or a full team for a weekend, and we are happy to fit around stage times, parades and switch-on moments. A big thank you to iBento Events and Enjoy Sutton for having us at Throwley Yard.
Christmas Event FAQs
Can circus workshops run outdoors in winter?
Yes. We bring props that work well in cold weather, and we can set up under a gazebo or move indoors if the weather turns. Juggling and plate spinning keep people warm too!
Do you provide stiltwalking Christmas trees?
We do. Our stiltwalking Christmas trees and festive characters are popular at markets, light switch-ons and shopping centre events, and they make for great photos.
How many people can join a drop-in workshop?
Drop-in sessions run continuously, so there is no fixed group size. We bring enough tutors and props to keep things moving, and we can add extra staff for busy events.
Can you work alongside other entertainment?
Absolutely. We regularly share events with choirs, bands, Father Christmas grottos and funfair rides, and we plan our sets around the main moments of the day, such as the lights going on.
