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! We’ll cover themes of ecosystems, plant-life, endangered species, electrics, the physics of circus and the links between chemistry and music.

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