After many wonderful years, Generation Circus will be coming to an end in June 2027. This hasn't been an easy decision, but it feels like the right time for a new chapter. I'm incredibly proud of everything we've created together – it’s been an absolute ride! There have been so many memorable moments – our wonderful Over 50s Circus shows, Circus Life Drawing, Inclusive Workshops, our brilliant Youth Circus, and the very special Circus Portraits project with photographer Andy Holloway. We've had some amazing opportunities to share what we do, with national and international coverage including The Guardian, The Telegraph, BBC Breakfast, Positive News and radio interviews. We've been shortlisted for a BBC Make A Difference Award, and had some brilliant moments closer to home too, including Ware Carnival. I can hardly believe how much we've done over the last few years! What's happening next? Generation Youth Circus finishes in December 2026. Over 50s Circus will continue every Sunday as usual until Sunday 30 May 2027 (and still free, of course!). And circus in Ware isn't disappearing! Over 50s Circus I'm so proud of our incredible Over 50s Circus community. They're taking things into their own hands and working towards setting up their own independent, community-led circus, so that Over 50s Circus can continue in Ware! Youth Circus Professional circus artist and coach Miles Fraser is launching Ware Youth Circus – brand new, ground-based classes at Ware Drill Hall in January 2027. Children and young people will have the chance to explore juggling, balancing, hat tricks, partner balances, acrobalance, creative movement and plenty of circus games and challenges. It's a lovely new opportunity for circus to continue in Ware, and I'm really pleased to see it happening. A huge thank you I've had a long career in circus – 28 years now. When I founded Generation Circus, I had no idea it would turn out to be the very best part of my career, and one of the best parts of my life. It's been my proudest achievement. And that's because of you all. I'm hugely grateful to everyone who has been part of it – our children, young people, adults, families, coaches, performers, volunteers, funders, partners and supporters. You've all helped make Generation Circus what it is. So, thank you. Emma Taylor Founder & Artistic Director Generation Circus
