About

Have you ever wanted to run away and join the circus? Now’s your chance!

Join us for an afternoon taster session in our stunning building where the art of circus is formed. Whether it’s experiencing the joy of climbing high on our silks, taking that first perilous step on the tightwire, learning your next dinner party trick with a set of juggling balls, or literally jumping through hoops, our world-class teachers are on hand to guide you through every stage.

Suitable for groups or individuals, our Experience Days offer a day out that’s unique and invigorating and gives all participants that first exciting glimpse into the circus tent…

Activities on the day

  • Static Trapeze
  • Aerial Hoop
  • Aerial silks
  • Tightwire
  • Juggling
  • Acrobatics

*Due to the way we have to set the space and equipment available to us this term, we are unable to offer flying trapeze. There are, however, still a number of aerial skills mentioned above. These actually allow for each participant to have more time practicing aerial skills than flying trapeze and are the ones most commonly seen in circus performances due to the smaller footprint. Participants have found these just as enjoyable and are to get more of an insight into the skills that today’s professional performers develop. For Flying Trapeze, please see the course that we offer here.
