Anyone can come and learn to fly in one of our two hour classes, our youngest students are 8, our oldest (so far) 78! Students start with a warm up then move on to practice a simple trick on our low bar. They then attempt the trick on the Flying Trapeze and towards the end of the class get caught by a catcher on a separate swinging bar. Most of our classes are run on a one-off basis, the more classes you take the more advanced tricks you can perform! If you truly are addicted to flying you may be able to join our weekly intermediate class!
We will be based in Regents Park from April to September 2012, with our second trapeze touring other London Parks. Click here for directions to our Regents Park location.
Classes and courses can be booked approximately 1 month before the class date. If you would like to be updated when new classes/courses go on sale, please sign up to our mailing list.

I have done some Flying Trapeze before, can I come to your intermediate class?
We would recommend that everyone interested in the intermediate classes comes to an introductory class first. However if you have a high skill level this may not be necessary.
