Galway Community Circus - Our Social Impact

We are Galway, We are Community, We are Circus!
Galway Community Circus is Ireland’s flagship for youth and social circus, located in the heart of Galway City. Our mission is to foster the growth of youth circus in Ireland and internationally through our dynamic circus school. Our vision is a future in which play, care and creativity are nurtured through circus education accessible to every child in Ireland.
We provide access to high-quality subsidised circus arts education through our circus school offering youth and adult programmes for over 500 weekly students as well as professional training and community programmes in partnership with those who have specific social or developmental needs. We provide artist supports, training and mentoring and lead the development of youth circus in Ireland through our academic, national and international partnerships.
We are proud to be strategically funded by the Arts Council of Ireland, as well as Erasmus+ and Galway City and County Councils.
