It’s been a hard year to pull out many positives for the arts and cultural sector, as our event industry and all former ways of working have shut down. But, the move to online, digital work has given Let’s Circus many opportunities to create work in new places and share them with our public in different ways. ![]()

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people or changed who can see it, or it's been deleted. Over on Woodhorn Museum's facebook you can expect a bunch of Post Christmas fun!![]()

The film would not have been possible without the commission by Museums Northumberland who dared to approach their heritage and arts programme differently . We were given the trust, time and space to create within these fantastic grounds and buildings - our 2020 'Woodhome'.

The title of the film, ‘A Touch of Colour’ is taken from a quote from pitman, painter and member of the Ashington Group of artists, Jack Harrison, he described how: ![]()
“at one time I used to paint drab sorts of pictures, but now I like a bit colour, such as a fairground, or circus or something like that”. ![]()
Circus is a traditional artform enjoyed by the people of Northumberland for centuries. A much-anticipated day out, a chance to dream and escape their every day. Inside a big top tent the artists performed amazing feats, the seemingly impossible. And so in the summer we went to Woodhorn Museum and much like a blank canvas for Jack, we at Let’s Circus created a moving picture inspired by the empty museum. We brought our ‘Woodhome’ to life in a new way for audiences to enjoy at home. so let us take you on a circus journey through the museum so you can see us and it in new and surprising ways!
