ABOUT THIS CLASS
Adult Aerial & Circus is your chance to step into the world of circus and try something completely different in a relaxed, supportive environment designed especially for adults.
Across each 45-minute session, you'll explore a mixture of aerial and circus skills including aerial silks, lyra, juggling, diabolo and yo-yo. Sessions are suitable for complete beginners, so you don't need any previous experience — our team will guide you through the skills at a level that's right for you.
These sessions are currently running on selected Friday evenings, giving you the freedom to book individually with no membership or ongoing commitment. Come along on your own, bring a friend and discover what you can do!
