Cloughjordan Circus Club are delighted to be the instigator and host of the now annual Irish Youth Circus Gathering. The event brings together young people with a shared interest in circus from Youth Circus Organisations from all over the island of Ireland.
Young people take part from Derry, Galway, Dublin, Belfast, Cork and of course Tipperary in a shared weekend full of circus workshops, learning and fun.
The whole community of Cloughjordan welcomes our guests. As well as a packed circus workshop programme, social events include a BBQ, board games night, and a Saturday night cabaret performance in St Kieran’s Hall.
The event is made possible with workshops and facilitators from Cloughjordan Circus Club and all participating groups including:
Dublin Circus Project; Circusful, Belfast; Galway Community Circus; In Your Space Circus and Cork Circus Factory.
The Irish Youth Circus Gathering returns to it’s Workshop-based format in 2025, after last year’s spectacular Create-A-Show-In-A-Weekend version. Starting with Welcome Games and a Circus Jam, we then have a slew of exciting and dynamic workshops in various circus arts where all the participants and tutors can swap skills and learn new tips and tricks. We are really excited to be hosting Joe Dieffenbacher this weekend, who will perform his show ‘Bloons’, as well as deliver workshops in slapstick to the participants.
OUTREACH PROGRAMME
Our Gathering Outreach Programme will run on Tuesday 11th to Friday 14th November 2025. We will run circus taster workshops with the local schools and community groups from the area, with a view to developing a longer term projects once they get a handle on how amazing circus is for so many reasons.
If you would like your school or group to get involved during the next event, please contact us now on bookings@cloughjordancircusclub.ie and we’ll set the wheels in motion.
