Conventions / Festivals

There are a vast number of juggling festivals in the Uk and the world.

Here are some in the UK for the next year.

British Juggling and Balloon Modelling Convention-

This takes place in April every year and is the grand festival/training ground of all things to do with juggling, often it incorporates some trapeze, clowning ect. Here you can go to technical workshops, hangout, meet other jugglers, play games,practise, see the upcoming young performers, go on parades, watch late night cabaret and see a fantastic public show. In 2006 the japanese diabolists stole the show with stunning 3 diablo tricks in the main show. Brilliant whatever your ability and beginners are welcome.

2009 15th - 19th April British Juggling Convention is in Norwich. www.bjc2009.com

British Unicycle Convention

Small than the juggling convention, this is a gathering for unicyclists with skill sessions, games, unicycle hockey, basketball, caberet, parties, camping and more. Smaller than the juggler conventions so more intimate. Brilliant whatever your ability and beginners are welcome although if you want to borrow unicycles you should check that out in advance.

2009 24 -26 th of April at Okehampton, Devon.

European Juggling Convention-

This takes place once a year somewhere in europe and is similar but even more fab than the British Juggling Convention. Here you can do a huge variety of workshops, play games, meet people, practise, see late night shows and top acts.

One advantage over the British Juggling Convention is that you might actually get a suntan.

2009 Vitoria, Spain 4-12 July.
