May Fayre Work Party Member 5th May 2026
Herefordshire Family Event, Fete / Carnival Made an ideal activity for all ages to dip in and out of during the Fayre and equipment was being used constantly from when the gates were opened to when they were finally closed.
Brought back happy memories of Steve running After School Clubs over 20years ago. Youngsters who engaged then had the opportunity to bring their children along to a session. Parents rediscovered skills they still had and had the opportunity to improve them!.

Nottinghamshire Youth Theater Phil was a great instructor with loads of skill and expertise, he provided a vast array of different activities and the pace of the session was just right to ensure our members had an opportunity to learn new skills and have a go at everything
Would highly reccomend Shooting stars great value for money.

Group Lead Volunteer 29th April 2026
Gloucestershire Beavers We booked Shooting Stars Circus Skills for our Beaver sleepover, themed "The Greatest Sleepover". Steve arrived promptly, and throughout the whole session engaged with the Beavers (and volunteers). On feedback, the Beavers "loved the circus skills" and want to do it again. I've used Steve and the team previously and would not hesitate in booking again - 5+ stars!!!.

Jane,
District Lead Volunteer 26th April 2026
Surrey Beavers, Cubs, Scouts We booked Jebb to deliver circus skills at our large Scout District fun day, welcoming over 500 young people – and he was brilliant.
Jebb created a really engaging space where young people (and adults!) could try something new, build confidence and have a lot of fun. He was incredibly patient and encouraging, helping everyone pick up new skills at their own pace.
The range of equipment he brought was fantastic. The tiny bikes were a particular favourite, alongside diablos, hoops, juggling scarves and more – there was always something new to try.
His enthusiasm and positive energy never dropped, even across a long, busy day. He was a huge hit and added a real sense of fun and creativity to our event.
We’d absolutely recommend Jebb for any event where you want something interactive, inclusive and memorable..

Children and Families Support Practitioner 2nd March 2026
Warwickshire Youth Groups The workshop was really fun and engaging for the children and young people we support. Paul ran the session really well so everyone had a great time but he also ensured the children were listening when needed. The split between practicing specific skills and having free time to explore the equipment was great. Paul worked really well to engage one of our children who was new to the group and feeling unsure. I also learnt to juggle scarfs which was great fun! Thanks so much, we will definitely be booking again!.

All while staying safe, I was incredibly impressed with how Paul managed the line of ensuring everyone had fun, but also stayed within the rules of the equipment.
