Celebrating 30 years of Rochdale’s Skylight Circus

Some attendees of Skylight Circus Arts Silver Circus for over 65s

Skylight Circus Arts have planned some online fun for their 30th birthday bash this week.

Skylight, which is based on St Chads Fold, Rochdale, has been professionally delivering circus skills activities to people of all ages in Rochdale since the 1980s.

It is a registered charity based locally that provides circus themed workshops and classes for children and adults to help develop confidence, social skills and improve physicality through performance.

To celebrate three decades of teaching new skills and bringing circus workshops to the people of Rochdale, you can join Skylight live on Facebook on Thursday (17 December), 5pm – 7pm, hosted by chairman Jim Riley.

From having a chance to custard pie the chairman, to a live performance from the Spotlight troupe, Skylight Circus have lots of memories and giggles to share. After taking a walk down memory lane, there will also be circus performances, competitions like ‘guess who’s in the shed’, and prizes for winners.

As well as this, Skylight will be playing video messages during the Facebook live birthday show from the public. If you would like to take part, send a short video to say happy birthday to the email dawn.p@skylightcircusarts.com
