Gorilla Circus Flying Trapeze Classes

Gorilla Circus take kids and adults through the basics of aerial circus skills. The open-air trapeze contraption consists of two swings 25ft up. Adults and children alike gather for the 90min session – which sees you progress from hooking your legs over your head and hanging upside down to getting caught by an acrobat. Of course there's a safety net below and all 'flyers' are fitted with a safety belt which is attached at the other end to an instructor who'll try to take your weight should you fall – fine for the young ones, but be warned: more mature acrobats can hit the net quite heavily. The trapeze is touring London this summer, making its way to Acton Green (May 20-Jun 8) then to Regent's Park (Jun 10-Aug 22). Age 6+. Booking recommended.
