DISCOVER THE CIRCUS HUB

The Circus Hub is the home of circus in Wellington — a welcoming community space where people of all ages can build strength, confidence, creativity, and connection through circus. Whether you’re trying something new, training seriously, or looking for a supportive creative environment, there’s a place for you here.

The Circus Hub is managed by the Wellington Circus Trust.

MATCHING MAY FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN 2026

Support the Circus Hub over the month of May as we endeavour to match a $10k donation from one of our very generous community members. This means we could raise up to $20k in total! We will be taking donations through our Givealittle page.

We will be hosting fundraising events throughout the month, kicking off with our Open Day on Saturday 2nd May followed by a Board Game night and a Kids Disco. More information is coming soon!

From funds we raise, 50% will go towards building back our cash reserves and then 50% towards replacing some of our aging equipment.

We are grateful for your ongoing support and generosity as we work to create a sustainable space for circus arts to thrive in Wellington.

Why We Do What We Do

We believe circus is a powerful form of creative self‑expression — and an important part of Wellington’s performing arts landscape. It blends physical skill with storytelling, artistry and rigour, supporting people to develop confidence, resilience and connection through movement and play.

At the Circus Hub, we’re here for every stage of the journey: the first class nerves, the joy of nailing a new skill, the wellbeing boost of moving your body, and the creative spark that comes from making something together. We work hard to keep the Hub safe, inclusive and welcoming — a place where people can belong, and where circus performers can keep growing their craft and sharing it with the city.

SUPPORT THE HUB

Thanks to our incredible community and loyal supporters, in 2025 we raised funds to allow us to stay in the Hub.

Our goal for 2026 is to raise a further $100,000

- to invest in our home at the Hub

- to buy new equipment

- to launch new programmes for people to enjoy circus.

More about us

The Wellington Circus Trust was formed through the founders’ passion and drive to share circus with the Wellington public. From humble beginnings in 2005, it has grown into a much-loved home for circus in Pōneke, offering classes, training and community events for people of all ages.
