Suitable for people of all ages, it will run from Thursday to Sunday, 30 May to 2 June.
A spokesperson said: "Have you ever dreamed of running away to join a circus?
"Well, now you can, because the circus is coming to Lower Shaw Farm, and you can be part of it!"
There will be workshops in juggling, staff spinning, plate spinning, devil-sticks, hula hoop, aerial hoop and silks, rope walking, slack-lining, acro-balance, human pyramids, unicycling and performance skills.
The spokesperson added: "There will be a fire show, and a fire sculpture created by you! After dark, we’ll have a cabaret, UV-light performance, and a Cowshed party to write home about.
"And on the last day, we’ll finish off with a games session, using your new skills! And for anyone who just wants to watch, the workshop space also has comfy sofas!"
The gathering is priced at £225 for adults, £168 for ages five to 25 and £158 for a second or third child in the same family.
As part of the Swindon Circus and Outdoor Arts Project (SCOAP), Lower Shaw Farm will be offering bursaries for two free places at this event, to help make circus and performing arts more accessible for people who might not normally be able to afford courses like this.
The spokesperson said: "If you would like to know more about these bursaries and who would be eligible, please email [email protected].
"We would like to thank Arts Council England for making this possible."
