Skylight recently applied to Arts Council England for money to run a circus apprenticeship programme and we've got it!!! We are proud to announce we will be running Circus Apprenticeships to find the next generation of circus teachers. Participants will learn circus skills, how to teach them in a range of community settings as well as work-related skills that will bolster your CV. We are looking for people who are interested in taking advantage of this opportunity! For more info or to express an interest please e-mail lindzi@skylight-circus-arts.org.uk

An enchanted evening of world class cabaret baked in a pie! We have assembled the very best international circus and variety performers to create a unique evening’s entertainment. Seated in our beautifully restored 18th century church, guests will watch a top class variety show while enjoying local delicacies supplied by the famous Pieminister. On arrival guests will be greeted by a champagne cocktail and be guided to their table by a feathered friend where nibbles will be waiting. Next on the menu is a seasonal pie, colcannon with red wine gravy followed by coffee, chocolates and mini mince pies. The cabaret includes beautiful aerial performances, stunning acrobatics, an incredible quick draw artist who paints canvasses to music and a comedy compere with an unusual pingpong ball act! Music will be provided by The Hot Potato Syncopators, a novelty swing band featuring a brace of ukuleles, musical saw and tea-chest bass. Dates and times: Thursday 4 & Friday 5 December at 7.30pm Tickets are £49.50 each, available from the Colson Hall 0117 922 3686
