Circus Science by the Sea Festival

Circus Science by the Sea – Europe’s only circus science festival will return for 2025! Join Circus250 this 14^th – 16^th November in Achill and Westport County Mayo for three fantastic days of circus, with a scientific twist.

This is a festival for everyone: fun-seeking families, environmentalists, artistes and physicists! This year’s line-up includes clowning, eggs-periments, acrobats, fire, bee-themed fun, music, gigantic bubbles and a special visit from the Rose of Tralee! They’ll cover themes of ecosystems, plant-life, endangered species, electrics, the physics of circus and the links between chemistry and music.

For the second year running, Circus250 are proud to partner with Mayo Autism to provide relaxed private performances – as part of their commitment to make circus accessible to all.

The 2025 programme for Circus Science by the Sea 2025 is now live: https://circus250.com/festivals/circus-science-by-the-sea

Circus Science by the Sea was produced by Circus250 with support from Research Ireland. Because we believe when science meets circus, anything’s possible.
