Aerial for Youth


We are delighted to see the return of our popular aerial for youth classes at Circus Factory. In this class kids and young people will have the opportunity to explore trapeze, aerial hoop, silks and aerial cocoon. Each participant or pod will be assigned their own apparatus, spaces are limited and booking is essential!

Extra exciting is that we will have the opportunity to show off our skills in a youth cabaret at end of the term so there will lots of creative fun and opportunity to get involved in all aspects of creating a show! - The show may take the format of a digital production however this will become clearer as the term progresses and what's feels the best fit for our students and with any restrictions that might still apply to indoor events.


What to bring and wear
We ask all users to limit what personal belongings they bring into the space however there are a few things you might need:
- Your own water bottle / hydration
- Clean socks - no outdoor trainers allowed on the mats.
