What it’s like
Aerial silks, hoop and trapeze sessions for age 7 up, with private tuition or a proper circus birthday party.
This is a proper circus skills space, not a soft play with a bit of ribbon thrown in. Kids get taught aerial silks, hoop, trapeze and ground circus skills, with guidance on safety before anyone gets off the floor. It suits age 7 and up, which makes sense once you picture a six-year-old trying to grip a silk two metres off the ground.
A private 1-2-1 session runs an hour for £40, which is a decent way to try it before committing to anything bigger. There's also an All Levels Group Workshop at £49 if your child wants to learn alongside others rather than one-on-one.
Birthday parties are clearly the big draw here. The Standard Package is £205 for up to 10 people, plus a £50 deposit, and gets you 2.5 hours of ground circus work and an aerial introduction. Fancy pizza with that? The Pizza Package bumps it to £265. Either way, that deposit stings a bit before you've even seen the venue, so it's worth being sure of your numbers before booking.
Everyone fills in a registration waiver on the first visit, and what you wear actually matters: leggings and long sleeves are recommended, not just suggested, because fabric burns and grazes happen with aerial work. Bring water and, as they put it, an open mind about what your body can do. Parking is on nearby roads rather than a dedicated car park.

A private 1-2-1 session is £40 for an hour. Group workshops for all levels are £49, and birthday parties start at £205 for up to 10 people.

The minimum age is 7. Aerial work needs a bit of strength and confidence that younger kids usually don't have yet.
