As already mentioned before on this blog, we had such a great time organising and celebrating Mimbre Circus Central, our very first self-curated festival on central Hackney’s Narrow Way in early September, and we are VERY proud of all the fantastic feedback we’ve since received! For example, Hackney Today writes: “The latest in in a programme of…
Mimbre Circus Central – what a day!

It is done! Mimbre Circus Central, our very first self-curated festival, took over the Narrow Way in Hackney last Saturday… and it was a great success! The weather held out and all of us had a really wonderful time (even though the day passed much to quickly!) – thanks so much to all of you…
