Charitable Circus Show for Disabled and Neurodivergent Children is Touring UK-wide starting in Leicester

Multi award-winning charity Circus Starr are bringing its inclusive and sensory‑friendly circus shows nationally starting in Leicester this month.

They will be touring a brand new show offering unforgettable and magical experiences, specifically tailored for SEND and neurodivergent children and their families. Their performances take place in 74 locations throughout the UK and organisers strive to create a welcoming and inclusive space so that families can attend without fear of stigma and discrimination. 

Events Manager, Jon Mitchell said ‘’This year’s show will be our most ambitious yet, with an imaginative theme of Circus under the Sea! Families can expect to see sensory LED acts, Jugglers, acrobatics and more.”

The events are all set up to relaxed theatre standards, which feature reduced volumes and considered lighting with special attention paid to sensory triggers. There is also a British Sign Language interpreter at every single show. The charity has recently celebrated winning a national Scope Disability Award, recognising its’ achievements in breaking down barriers for the families that it supports.

‘’We love sharing our fun events with those who finds it challenging to access live performances.” Said charity trustee Michelle Crossley. “Whilst our show is very visual, it is important to us that those with hearing impairments can enjoy the performance in its entirety, and we are proud to have our interpreters at each of our shows to help make that possible’’.

First performance takes place at Judge meadow Community College in Evington, Leicester on Saturday 23^rd May 2026.
