CIRCUS ERUPTION

27/07/2026

We're so pleased and proud to present a *brand new* 7-minute film about who we are and what we do at Circus Eruption!

It includes volunteers, young people, adult participants and staff (a number of the adults also used to be Eruption young people!).

I feel in a lot of ways it's how the world should be... there's no judgement, it's accessible for everyone" (a young person from youth circus)
"It's all about inclusion, so it's trying to involve as many people as possible, but more than that, it's teaching them how valuable everybody is" (volunteer)
"The undercurrent of the inclusion stuff and always being able to reflect on those experiences has shaped me a lot" (staff member, who was also a young person at Eruption in the past).

Diolch yn fawr iawn, pawb / thanks so much to EVERYONE who took part, and Ryan Evans Media for capturing it all!

It's been a glorious 35-year journey so far, with loads of fun acro...

Wrth i fis balchder ddod i ben, rydym am rannu pa mor wych oedd ein pobl ifanc yn gorymdaith Pride Abertawe eleni! Cawsom amser gwych yn dathlu Pride gyda’n gilydd ac yn dangos ein sgiliau syrcas!

As pride month ends, we want to share how brilliant our young people were at this year’s Swansea Pride parade! We had a great time celebrating Pride together and showing off our circus skills!

Wrth i wythnos Gwirfoddolwyr ddod i ben, hoffen ni dweud ddiolch yn FAWR iawn i’n holl wirfoddolwyr. Gwirfoddolwyr sy’n gwneud ein waith yn bosibl! O’n gardd a’n hadeilad i’n sesiynau syrcas, maen nhw’n dod â sgiliau, profiad a llawenydd i bopeth maen nhw’n ei wneud!

As Volunteers’ week ends we’d like to say a HUGE thank you to all of our volunteers. Volunteers make all of our work possible! From our garden and building to our circus sessions, they bring skills, experience and joy to everything they do!

Rydym yn agor ein drysau i YMDDIRIEDOLWYR NEWYDD! Gallwch fyw unrhyw le yn y DU a’n cefnogi drwy fod yn Ymddiriedolaeth. Os yw cyfranogiad, cynhwysiant a llais ieuenctid yn beth i chi - byddem wrth ein bodd yn clywed gennych chi! Nid oes rhaid i chi ddod â sgil arbennig; ymrwymiad i weld Circus Eruption yn ffynnu yw’r hyn yr ydym yn ei werthfawrogi fwyaf.
Mae gennym adeilad anhygoel hefyd, a’i ddatblygiad sydd ar ddod yw’r hyn a fydd yn gwneud yr ychydig flynyddoedd nesaf yn seismig i ni yn sefydliadol. Os yw rheoli newid, ymgodymu ag adeiladau treftadaeth neu unrhyw sgil gysylltiedig (cyllid, marchnata?) yn beth i chi, byddem wrth ein bodd yn clywed gennych chi hefyd.
Y dyddiad cau ar gyfer y cyfle hwn yw 29/06/26. Mae Circus Eruption wedi’i leoli yn Abertawe, De Cymru. Mae Ymddiriedolwyr yn cyfarfod ar-lein bob 6 wythnos. Cynhelir cyfarfodydd wyneb yn wyneb, gan gynnwys yr holl Ymddiriedolwyr, o leiaf ddwywaith y flwyddyn trwy drefniant. Byddwn yn darparu pecyn cais i ddarpar ymgeiswyr gan gynnwys gwybodaeth gefndir manylach.
Anfonwch e-bost at Karen ([email protected]) a/neu Alfie ([email protected]) am ragor o wybodaeth a sgwrs anffurfiol i ddechrau.

Could you be our next trustee? Deadline is 29th June - see comment for a link to more info! See our page for the Welsh version of this text.

We’re opening up to NEW TRUSTEES! You can live anywhere in the UK and support us through Trusteeship. If participation, inclusion and youth voice is your thing - we’d love to hear from you! You don’t have to bring a special skill; a commitment to seeing Circus Eruption flourish is what we value most.
We also have an amazing building, and its upcoming development is what’s going to make the next few years seismic for us organisationally. If change management, heritage building wrangling or any related skill (finance, marketing?) is your thing, we’d love to hear from you too.

The closing date for this opportunity is 29/06/26. Circus Eruption is based in Swansea, South Wales. Trustees meet online every 6 weeks. In-person meetings including all Trustees will be held at least twice a year by arrangement. We will provide an application pack to prospective applicants including more detailed background information.

Please email Karen ([email protected]) and/or Alfie ([email protected]) for more information and an informal initial chat.

Here’s a snapshot of our annual residential!

Bob blwyddyn rydyn ni’n mynd â’n pobl ifanc i ffwrdd ar taith benwythnos yn y Gŵyr. Diolch i’n holl bobl ifanc, gwirfoddolwyr, staff a chefnogwyr am wneud daith eleni yn wych! O deithiau cerdded hanner nos i ymladdfeydd dŵr a llawer o syrcas, mae’r taith bob amser yn llawn hwyl. Dyma gipolwg yn unig ar yr hyn a wnaeth y bobl ifanc.

Every year we have the pleasure of taking our young people away on a weekend residential in the Gower. Thank you to all of our young people, volunteers, staff and supporters for making this year’s residential brilliant! From midnight walks to waterfights and loads of circus, the residential is always packed full of fun. Here’s just a snapshot of what the young people got up to.

Yfory/Tomorrow! Dydd Iau / Thurs 16/04/26 - 11am-1pm in the Idris Room at Urban HQ (and 23/04/26, 30/04/26, 07/05/26 & 14/05/26)

Mae CIRCUS ERUPTION a Anxiety Support Wales wedi ymuno i gynnig dau set o weithdai syrcas hamddenol a chefnogol mewn lleoliad croesawgar a hygyrch yng nghanol y ddinas.
Os ydych chi erioed wedi bod eisiau dysgu jyglo neu droelli plât, neu hyd yn oed gerdded ar stilts neu reidio beic un olwyn, y sesiynau hyn yw’r rhai i chi!
Rhowch gynnig ar rywbeth newydd mewn amgylchedd anffurfiol; mwynhewch ar eich cyflymder eich hun. Nid oes angen profiad, a dim pwysau yn yr ystafell - y syniad yw bod hyn yn hwyl i bawb.
Gallwch ddod ar eich pen eich hun neu ddod â rhywun gyda chi.

Circus Eruption and Anxiety Support Wales have teamed up to offer two sets of relaxed, supportive circus workshops in a welcoming, accessible city centre space.

If you’ve ever wanted to learn to juggle or spin a plate, or even stilt walk or unicycle, these sessions are for you!

Try something new in an informal environment; have fun at your own pace. No experience needed, and no pressure in the room - the idea is that this is fun for everyone.
You can come on your own or bring someone with you.

TOMORROW / YFORY - Tuesday 14th April
Dydd Mawrth 14eg Ebrill
14:00-15.30

Join us and some graduates of the Welsh School of Architecture to consider the future of the 'church hall' - the large space behind the former St Luke's!

They've got loads of new ideas about the space, and we are hoping to create a group to think together about the final plans over the next year. We want to make the most of ALL the thinking and ideas to date, and add new ideas if we need to!

Croeso i bawb / all welcome; get in touch if you can't make Tuesday but are interested in engaging over the next year.
