One day, at circus school... 11th March 2009

I did a one day course here and it was so much fun. Even if it did turn out that I was much less coordinated than originally thought. Had I showed any natural skill I would have happily come back for a londer course.

Also gives you you the chance to drop 'At circus school...' into conversation, which is priceless.

Running away to join the circus 13th September 2007

I've been coming here for a little over a year, attending the acrobatics courses, which are taught by gymnastics instructors in a purpose-built sprung room. In addition to this they also cover acrobatic balancing, clown skills, tight-rope, flying trapeze and many more. Basically if you've seen it in a contemporary circus, they probably have it - although I've yet to see a bearded lady or a lion tamer.

On the briefer side, they also offer half and full day workshops on circus skills and western skills (lasso, whip etc) - perfect for trying out a number of disciplines and excellent as gift ideas. For the more serious they run masterclasses, long-term courses and even degree programs.

This is an excellent resource and Hoxton's lucky to have it. I encourage anyone who wants to try something a little physical and very different to give it a go
