What is the European Juggling Convention?
The biggest annual meeting of Jugglers in the world. It also
involves acrobats, unicyclists, aerialists, musicians,
performers and other practitioners of the circus and
theatrical arts. This year we go for an adventure in
Slovenia!
What’s happening this year?
There will be big tops and marquees on-site for 24-hour
juggling. There’s one (size: 40mx20m) gym hall, open
everyday, 5 mins. walk from the town centre. There will be
Big Tops with stages on-site. We hope to see more shows
for smaller audiences. Performers will have the chance to
play more than once so you’ll get the chance to see, and do,
shows close-up. Remember: we’ll provide the spaces so
you can fill them with creativity! There will be stages in the
town centre, a show at the castle and as many events as we
can fit into the time and the town.
Every EJC is different and we hope to inspire you with
several different places to play, learn and juggle in 2005.

Some stuff about Ptuj
Ptuj is the oldest town in Slovenia and one of the oldest
settlements in Europe dating back beyond the Stone Age.
Museums, churches, vast wine cellars, a golf course, bars,
cafes and a castle with views over the surrounding
vineyards and the great Drava river. Slovenia is a great
place for a holiday.
The currency of Slovenia is the Tolar (SIT) Euro (€) can be
used in a few places. Credit cards work. There are Cash
machines (ATM). Slovenia is in the EU.
Poolside action!
Next to the Convention Site stands the Terme Ptuj – big
outdoor pools, huge slides, indoor pools, saunas, bars,
restaurant, tree shaded grass, an outdoor Amphitheatre,
showers and lockers. Open daily 9am – 10pm.
We have a discount price for the Terme: Adult 1100 sit,
Child 550 sit. (4.6€/2.3€) That’s half-price folks! And
there’s no particular kind of swimming costume you are
obliged to wear this year.
