Circus Ipswich was founded in 2017 with a mission to bring the joy of the circus arts as a legitimate art form to the city of Ipswich. As a youth circus focussed on developing circus skills in kids and teens aged 6 and older, the organization runs classes an projects that use the power of circus to empower the community.
Circus Ipswich is working on a new collaborative performance directed by Chelsea McGuffin with young people on the Autism spectrum. The Street Circus Parade will take place on April 17 and later as part of Anywhere Festival in May.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
