Two young women perform a joyful aerial circus routine. One sits confidently on a red-and-white striped aerial hoop suspended by thick ropes, her arms outstretched and mouth open in a delighted yell. Below her, another performer supports her with her shoulders, smiling widely with arms spread in a flying pose. Both are dressed in black, with one wearing white tights. A blue curtain forms the backdrop, capturing the playful, empowering spirit of a youth circus workshop.

About Youth Aerial Circus Workshop: 17-21

Ever wanted to try aerial silks? This Aerial Circus Workshop is the perfect opportunity for young people aged 17–21 to experience the thrill of aerial performance in a safe, supportive environment.

Led by expert instructors from The Circus Project, the session begins with a fun group warm-up, including games and stretches to get your body moving. You’ll then learn the basics of working with aerial silks – improving strength, coordination, confidence, and creativity along the way.

Whether you’re completely new to circus or looking to build on existing skills, this is a great way to try something new, challenge yourself, and have fun.

What to Wear:

  • Fitted, flexible clothing (like sportswear)
  • Avoid zips, buttons or jewellery that may catch on equipment
  • Try to cover as much skin as possible to protect against friction
  • Bring a bottle of water
