About

Did you ever dream of running away to join the circus when you were a kid? This experience will show you what you missed out on and you're certainly in for a busy day. You'll learn acrobatic balancing and tumbling (like cartwheels and handstands - definitely stuff you can show off to your friends), stilt walking, juggling and diabolo (the spinny thing that you juggle with sticks). And then there's the really amazing stuff - static trapeze, tight wire walking and (drum roll please!) flying trapeze. You won't forget this day in a hurry! If it all sounds impossible, and frankly pretty scary, don't worry; you'll be under constant expert supervision, within a carefully controlled environment. All equipment hire is included and you'll also get lunch at the nearby Juggler Cafe. Just bring a sense of humour, bags of energy and willingness to look like a bit of a clown...
