Karen,
Guide Leader 23rd March 2025
Surrey Guides A wonderful evening of circus skills with the guides. All the communication was very easy and Paul turned up promptly and with a lot of fantastic circus skills equipment.
First half of the evening was teaching the guides to juggle in step-by-step way. Pretty much all of the guides got the hang of it - it was amazing to see the rapid progress.
The second half of the evening was free time with the circus equipment like unicycles, mini bikes, spinning plates, diabolos, hula hoops etc. The guides really enjoyed having a play with different equipment!
Thank you so much, we will recommend you to anyone interested!.

Somerset Brownies, Rainbows We had Steve with his skills for both our Rainbow and Brownies Units. All the girls had a fantastic time. They were so engrossed with all the activities available. I think they would have gone on all night if they could! The range of skills learnt were great. Ostrich feather balancing had them all in fits especially balancing them in their belly buttons!!
It was a great evening which went very quickly.
Lots of them are now asking for Circus Skills birthday parties.
We will be booking again that's for sure..

Gloucestershire Guides You were brilliant! You accommodated all the young people amazingly. You were fast moving but taught skills. I thought you did that really well- they jumped up to do the next part! You had everyone involved. It was lovely to take part as an adult, because you had brilliant control of the group in a nice way.
We would have you back in a flash and will repeat again one day..

Oxfordshire Scouts Paul had a fantastic way with the sea scouts - he managed behaviour really well without being like a school teacher - they were captivated.
He kept a group of 25 children aged 10-12 entertained and busy for 2 hours. Really good fun, we learnt some fantastic skills - he broke down the stages of learning to juggle and do Diablo really clearly at a pace everyone could keep up with.
Highly recommended - he is coming back to do the older 25 kids next week!.

West Sussex School Another brilliant workshop. The children loved learning how to spin plates and Paul ensured all children were successful. There was plenty of time for the children to also explore the different resources. We have been using shooting stars for the last 5 years and have never been disappointed. Thank you.

Greater London Scouts The young people (and adults) had a fabulous evening with Paul learning a variety of circus skills. His careful instruction ensured that everyone was able to achieve the skills throughout the evening and no one was left behind.
Such was the enthusiasm that Paul generated, two of the Scouts have returned after the Christmas Break with a diablo and flower stick that they had received for Christmas (a last minute request to their Parents after our evening with Paul). Each had learnt some additional skills based on what they had first learnt with Paul..
