About this Event

Join us for an afternoon programme of Circus High Jinks in the beautiful historical surroundings of *Elizabeth Fort. Expect towering aerial acrobatics, fire juggling on a tightwire, and exquisite hand balancing displays. And a chance to try some circus (no, not the fire) during our Circus Disco, where we stick on some choons and let ye “run wild” with hula hoops and soft juggling balls. No messin’ with the equipment now, cause Nancy will be there too, a no frills spit and polish kind of lady. In her own words: “Get yer heads out of them Blasted phones and talk to me”

*This event is outdoors so please dress accordingly. Timings are subject to change depending on weather. Bring picnics and camping chairs if you plan to stay with us throughout the day!

Circus High Jinks presented by Circus Factory and Cork St Patrick’s Festival, supported by Cork City Council and Failte Ireland.
