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 goI'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.
