We would thoroughly recommend these as they had the full attention of a group of young children for the whole time. They were completely on their level and kept thing flowing.

The children thoroughly enjoyed both the show and the workshops which made their classroom learning come alive in a fun and engaging way. Nick was an excellent instructor and entertainer and it was the perfect way to finish off our topic of Forces for Year 3 and Year 5. Thank you!.

Joe came to visit our Brownie Pack and the girls had an amazing time. He explained how to use everything at the start and then they could use which ever equipment they wanted. He has loads of different things for them to play with - including 3 unicycles! He was very patient with them and really good at explaining. Would definitely recommend. The booking process and communication was all very good too..

Dave arrived well on time on Sunday morning. Not an easy brief to keep the attention of 21 Guides on a Sunday morning at Guide camp but he did very well and the 3 hour session flew past. All the Guides really enjoyed the different activities - balancing feathers, juggling, unicycles, stilts, spinning plates. Dave managed to inspire all the Guides including those who initially had a tendency to ‘give up’ if they couldn’t do something. He had great hints & tips, good stories and kept the tension of all the Guides throughout - no mean feat! Many thanks 😁.

Another brilliant session that left the girls talking about it as they left, telling their parents what they had been up to. The sessions were well run, fast paced which meant the girls were not sitting around and very enjoyable for all..

There was a great range of activities which were age appropriate for each of the sections. They were challenging without being utterly impossible.

One of our members were so inspired, they went out and bought a unicycle!

Highly recommended.

We booked Shooting Stars for our summer fete on a recommendation and we could not have been more impressed. Fred was on time (actually a little early) and completely self sufficient (a massive bonus given all the last minute mayhem taking place). He adjusted what he could do given the awful weather conditions, moving inside and back outside the building throughout the day to ensure all those attending got the absolute best experience they could. The feedback from attendees was brilliant, they all loved every second they spent with Fred, some having to be pulled away to see the other activities. We could not recommend shooting stars (and Fred) more and will definitely be booking them for future events..

We had arranged for two separate sessions one for our Beaver Scouts and one for our Explorer Unit and all I can say is what a fabulous evening for our young people. All member were able to get involved, try and learn some new skills. Both sessions were aimed for the age group and suited the need of the group well. I would certainly recommend. Thank You!.

Jebb was fantastic with the Brownies and Rainbows. His interaction was second to none and he was patient with the girls, praising them when they got it right and helping them to do so when they were having difficulty. He has a great sense of humour too. I've had marvellous feedback from the parents and the leaders had a blast too. We went to Wetherspoons after so he could have something to eat and had a great chat with him about Juggling conventions..

We booked your company for a joint unit Girl Guiding event with girls ranging from 4 to 14. Fred was brilliant with them all, splitting them into two groups one with the younger ones and the other the older girls. All enjoyed having a go at the circus skills demonstrated and were happy to try everything. Fred's enthusiasm was a joy to see and the delight on the girls faces was everything we hoped it would be. Thank you so much, we will be sharing your details with other units in our area and hope to book you again in the future..

I asked from feedback from our leaders.
All praised Joe for his patience, ability to break things down for those needing more time to learn the skills. Joe was prepared to show new tricks to those who picked things up easily.
Joe was very clear with instructions and safety precautions.
Thank you Joe, the Beavers loved the circus skills sessions!
