Circus Factory: Opinions
Fantastic experience: I remember the first day of a Spymonkey clowning intensive at Circus Factory, I walked away thinking, 'I wish there was a Circus Factory in my city!'. It was raining but I felt so warm - Cormac and friends brought together a group of mesmerizing ppl. Every day we'd come in early to drink coffee, and smoke, and pick costumes, and chat, and warm up, and try our hands at juggling, and walking the tightrope. There was space to stretch, to jump, to change and grow. I'm so grateful!
We're so happy to hear you had such a great experience at Circus Factory!
Positive experience: Great
Thank you Loizos for the review!

Hi Clare, Thank you so much for that wonderful review. We're so glad to hear how welcome you feel in our space! :)
Fantastic experience: Acroyoga jams are awesome
Thank you Gabriel! We'll pass your comment on to Brendan and crew! :)
Fantastic experience: Fantastic show for World Circus Day! Can't wait for the next one.
Fantastic experience: I went to the 8pm show last Saturday of the Faoin Speir circus show at Wandesford Quay and despite the cold, the performers kept us greatly entertained with their skill and athleticism. Well worth seeing and I hope to see more shows from the Circus Factory. And congrats to the host and rigger on their engagement which was sprung on her by surprise in the middle of the show.
Thank you for that wonderful review Peter. There will certainly be more from us so stay tuned. And yes all hail our hero Michaela of trapeze act Duo Mika who climbed the rope to rescue the aerial silk and show!). And of course Cormac for distracting us. It was like a super hero movie!
Fantastic experience: What an AMAZING night I had on Sat 16th April 2022 - World Circus Day. Cork Circus Factory were out in force and drew appreciative ooooo's and aaaaa's from the audience. We were laughing with delight and gasping in amazement. It was an open air performance on Wandesfird Quay and as the shadows lengthened towards night, the atmosphere was sharpened by the resulting shadows on the wall. It had been a hard 2.5 years without Cork Circus Factory and the Cork Arts Community were out in force to support our brethren. I bumped into Kate Corkery author of Cork Folk Tales, Carol from Speakout Theatre and Aiden O'Brien of Bold Ensemble Improv. The joyful magical atmosphere created by Cork Circus was too hard to leave and we sipped drinks in happy Community until after 1:00 am on Easter Sunday. BRAVO Cork Circus Factory - I can't WAIT for our next outing - Maria Gillen, Cork Storyteller and Storyteller in Residence for Kerry Writers Museum ❤️♀️
Wow, what a review Maria! When you said "the Cork Arts Community were out in force to support our brethren2 - we felt it. We had chills from the audience support throughout the night and we could not be more grateful for it ❤️ We can't wait to do this all again at the next show!
Fantastic experience: I went to the 4 o'clock show for children and it was fantastic. All 3 generations in my group enjoyed the show and the chance to try out the circus equipment afterwards. The venue felt very safe as it was enclosed and not too busy. We had a lovely time:)
Hey Aoife, we're thrilled to hear how the 3 generations of your family enjoyed Super Star Circus :) We bet you were all amazing at juggling, hula hooping and flower sticks! :D
Fantastic experience: Was good fun to see the performances despite the rain looming over the performers. Great show altogether.
Thank you so much for the review Monica! :D

Fantastic experience: Such a jewel in the crown if Cork. Great teachers and the shows are absolute magic!
Fantastic experience: Circus brings crazy art world to cork and we love it
Positive experience: Hier werden Kurse zu Acroyoga, Trapez, Ring und Seidentuch angeboten. Außerdem gibt es einige offene Trainingsstunden. Es versammeln sich Leute aus allen Teilen der Welt und die Atmosphäre ist offen und freundlich. Das offene Training ist eher für Fortgeschrittene, aber das angeleitete Training ist auch für Anfänger gut geeignet. Sie haben da unglaublich viele verschiedene Materialien, sodass man einiges ausprobieren kann
Fantastic experience: What's not to love about a space where you can learn acro, ariel and any other circus feat out there.. Great instructors, fun vibe.
Positive experience: This venue doesn't really fall into any particular category. It's quite unique and that is what makes it sort of special. I visited on a children's party and it was a great experience. Nothing like the rather run-of-the-mill trampoline venues I have attended on other birthday parties. I'd reccomend if you are looking for something entertaining and interesting for a kid's birthday party. The venue also offers classes for adults. Although I haven't attended, I have heard it's great fun and a sociable experience. Activities such as juggling and trapeze artistry are taught to beginners.
Positive experience: The people are fantastic, open, and welcoming
Positive experience: Attended a Trapeze class with Cormac - great fun
Fantastic experience: I loved going there! I hope I'll join this year too

Fantastic experience: The best place in Cork to get fit and push your limits while having a lot of fun.
Fantastic experience: Brilliant spaces full of the warmest and zaniest characters around. Very open and sharing atmosphere between the practitioners. Space is large enough to have many people practising at once. Have always had great and memorable times there!
