As always Paul gave our Brownies and Guides a fantastic experience. We have a number of neurodiverse members and it was lovely to see them enthusiastically joining in and often mastering skills before others..

Steve was incredibly engaging and even the more challenging young people were captivated, enthralled and entertained throughout. The way skills were broken down and the complexity levels to suit the audience made everyone go home feeling they’d gained a new skill. We will definitely book again!.

A fantastic day was had by around 100 young people of our Scout Group from the ages of 4-14 (plus a bit older if you count the adults!)
Jedd managed to give time everyone even though the group was big, he was really funny and informative.
We look forward to our next Circus skill day.

Just wanted to say a massive thank you for supporting our SEN schools Arts Week. We had an amazing day with brilliant feedback from both staff and students. There was a wide variety of equipment to explore which was suitable for everyone. We also uncovered some hidden talents!

Paul was friendly, engaging and supportive of our students and they loved it!

I would highly recommend and would not hesitate to book again.

We booked Shooting Stars Circus for activities for the last 4 years, they have always delivered and catered to everything we have asked of them. We had a slight error with our booking and had booked a day later than we had planned, we called them the evening before we needed them to come in, hoping they could change the day and they did without a problem. Steve came to our rescue and was brilliant and inspiring. He even performed in front of the school during assembly, balancing a chair on his chin! The children loved it, we will be booking them in again next year..

Our event was a HUGE hit - the circus skills area within our festival was heaving from beginning to end. Our entertainer Joe arrived early, set up and kept all the children (and adults) entertained throughout the whole afternoon. The children who took part all learnt new skills and had a brilliantly fun afternoon..

It was a great day weatherise and this probably helped with the number of people who attended. It was wonderful to see so many children AND adults having a go at all the different activities. Your instructor also had it very well set out so that there was plenty of space and gentle things were away from the more dynamic activities.
Only problem was that your instructor - I am sorry I have forgotten his name - left his hat in the gents toilet at the Tayne Centre. I will be collecting it from the person who locked up and found it, in the next couple of days. Perhaps you can tell me where to send it?!

Best wishes,
Adrian

Circus skills was great fun! Lots of equipment for us to play with! Jebb gave us great demonstrations of stuff for us to try with the different equipment; also some dems showing his own advanced skills. Really exciting! Jebb himself was kind, fun, helpful, encouraging, sensitive to people’s different circumstances, age, skills levels. It brought smiles to faces, both of the participants and to those watching the fun.
It was a lovely session.


I thought that Jebb was exceptionally good at ensuring everyone was included and given individual advice as well as helpful tips and demonstrations.


I thought it was excellent! Great tuition, very entertaining and well resourced. Also, Jebb seemed really committed to supporting us and making sure we had fun. A fab afternoon!

What a successful family party! Paul was brilliant with our group, which had an age range of 6 - 75! He was supportive and helped everyone to have success, at times using some cheats. We learnt that there is one key thing to remember about each trick! I am sure that items of circus equipment will be on birthday and Christmas lists. Thank you Paul!.
