The Durham Juggling & Circus Convention is the North East’s largest community Juggling and Circus Event.

This annual event draws jugglers from all over the country to meet, share skills, play games and watch the cabaret-style show in the evening. Both the convention and show are also open to the public, so if you’ve ever fancied learning to juggle or you’d like to find out what it’s all about then come along!

The DJCC is back for 2025! The event will be held Friday 11th - Sunday 13th October at Barnard Castle.

The convention will run 14th-16th October, and typically the doors will open in the evening on Friday at The Hub.

There will be lots of fun on Friday night and on Saturday night we will be having our main show which is packed with many great acts! This year the main show will be held in a separate building next door to the leisure centre at the Glaxo Social Club which has an onsite bar which will be open for the duration of the show.

On Saturday we will be based in Teesdale Leisure Centre, which is within walking distance of The Hub. There will be two large sports halls and squash courts with plenty of space for the usual array of activities such as juggling, aerial, acro and board games.

We traders at this years convention. Unicycle.com, Lazy Juggler, Balance Toys and JuggleGifts.

As usual we provide indoor sleeping space and outdoor camping for people who want to come and make a weekend of it. Camping facilities will be based at The Hub which is 2 minutes to the sports centre and club.  It has 2 halls, chill out space and great outdoor areas (including fire pit). The Hub also provides bunk beds in shared rooms which can be booked in advance.

A full programme of events will be announced soon. You can also read more about the event at our Facebook page and our Facebook event
