Greentop is a dedicated centre for circus arts based in an old church building in the heart of Sheffield. It houses classes for adults and young people, professional circus artist development, and tailor-made programmes for schools, communities and businesses.
Greentop is the north of England's leading circus centre, where you can:
Learn amazing new skills, including aerial disciplines of trapeze, silks and hoop Discover a great fun way to develop your fitness, agility and strength Develop your performance ideas and create brand new shows
2018 is the 250th anniversary of the birth of modern circus and to celebrate Greentop produced a weekend of new shows including:
"The Boulderers" – an outdoor show by dance/acrobatic company Kapow which used the whole of the outside of the church building and the graveyard too!
"Cirque de la Lune" – a show by Greentop Youth Circus celebrating circus's 250 year history using aerial hoops:
Family circus cabaret – showcasing the youth circus stars with spectacular acts on the silks and the stage!
Greentop's shows are inexpensive and great entertainment for all the family. If you get the chance to visit them in Sheffield you won't be disappointed!
