Galway Community Circus is Irelands flagship organisation for youth and social circus, located in Galway City with a local, national and International remit.

Our aim is to advance the artistic, personal and social development of young people through Circus Arts. We are committed to creating an innovative and imaginative learning experience where all young people can realise their full potential.

Through our ground-breaking programmes and high-quality productions, Galway Community Circus has proven itself to be a cradle of artistic excellence and educational innovation in Ireland, working with over 600 young people from diverse backgrounds every week.

Macnas Spectacle Youth Theatre is about developing talent in performance and the spectacle arts and strengthening relationships with diverse communities in Galway to develop an appreciation and understanding of spectacle arts and the important role that participation plays in Macnas.

Throughout the year the Youth Theatre are part of the core artistic programme of the company and participate in indoor and outdoor spectacle events created in collaboration with professional artists.

Macnas Spectacle Youth Theatre aims to provide a safe environment where young people can explore and articulate what is important to them, what their needs might be and creative ways of having their needs expressed.

We support artistic excellence, social inclusion, and personal development.
