Youth Circus classes include a broad range of aerial, acrobatic and other circus arts such as trapeze, silks, hoop, rope, acrobatics, tumbling, acrobalance, trampoline and object manipulation.
Please note that flying trapeze is not included in regular Youth Circus classes. Children ages 7+ can join any of our flying trapeze classes separately by buying an aerial class pack or booking on a drop-in rate, and there is a dedicated flying trapeze class for under-18s on Mondays.
There is scope for students to spend more time on their favourite arts and when they are age 13-16 they can check with instructors if they want to attend adult classes in the evening schedule, which would give them 90 minutes in a particular art.
Classes are inherently playful, collaborative and inclusive and everyone goes at their own pace without pressure or competition with others.

A special class for the youngest circus artists, aged from 1-6, and their parents/carers! This is a very playful approach to circus, with lots of lots of games to introduce little ones to the aerial apparatus at low height, along with repeated movements which build towards acrobatics, and other circus activities.
You will enjoy things like partner acrobatics, trampoline, juggling, aerial hoop, hammock and trapeze, all of which help to build the 3-Cs – coordination, confidence and collaboration.

The Easter Edge is a four-day festival of circus arts designed to make sure you progress in four disciplines that you choose. It's suitable for all levels of experience – it's ideal if you want to learn new arts and polish up your skills in your favourite arts. The 2026 dates are Friday 26th March til Monday 29th March. Each day there are four 90-minute time slots. In each team slot, there are four arts to choose from. When you've chosen your arts for each slot, that's your schedule for the four days, you'll follow those paths all weekend. You'll train the same art at the same time each day, and by the end of the four days you'll have made noticeable progress! A wide range of circus arts will be taught by a combination of Aerial Edge and guest instructors. Snap up your spot today, and the schedule will be released a month before the event. Then the booking system for the pathways will open closer to the time, usually two weeks before. The Easter Edge class pass includes 4 credits. Use each one to book a single track in each timeslot.
