Creative Space & Venue Hire
The Oak Circus is a unique creative space with high quality circus facilities, and a capacity to deliver performances and events.
We have hosted a number of international circus companies for rehearsals, residencies and showings.
We have also worked with other organisations such as The National Centre for Circus Arts, and Circus Futures, to support funded creative residencies.
The Oak Circus Centre is one of very few spaces in the country that has the height and space to house large circus disciplines such as swinging trapeze and teeterboard.
Whilst specialising in circus, we also welcome other creatives into our venue, we are available for theatre/music/dance rehearsals and performances, photo shoots, film shoots and book launches to name just a few possibilities.
Our beautiful Grade 1 listed building provides an inspiring and unique environment in which to create, with our large main space or smaller mezzanine space available for hire.
St Michael Coslany Church
Our space at St Michael Coslany is a Grade 1 listed building in the heart of Norwich. Famed for the beautiful external flintwork and host to a working set of bells and regular bell ringers, St Michaels has become our home.
Perhaps the most elegant and beautiful of the Norwich city centre churches, here is early 16th century Perpendicular in all its glory, with stunning flushwork across the east end and the aisles.
Conveniently located and literally a 5 minute walk from the bottom of St Benedicts Street and the famous and unique Norfolk Lanes.
Impress with one of Norwich’s most unique & historic buildings.
