Aerial Edge Circus School Open Day

About Aerial Edge Circus School Open Day

Join us for our FREE Open Day — an afternoon packed with fun, laughter, and a special bit of magic. No experience? No problem! No matter if you’re aged 7 or 70, there’s something at Aerial Edge to make your spirits soar.

Whether you want to unleash your inner daredevil or you’re looking for a fresh, exciting way to get fit and strong, the circus is calling!

Why do repetitive exercises in the gym when you can learn infinitely varied circus skills to build your bod?! Talk about New Year, New You!

This isn’t just about clowning around (though there might be some of that too). It’s your opportunity to flip out with acrobatics skills sessions, learn to twirl on aerial silks, trapeze or hoop, and soar through the air in our most popular class by far, flying trapeze.

Our supportive, experienced instructors will guide you every step of the way, ensuring you have a blast while staying safe.

Grab your friends, bring the family, or come solo — everyone’s welcome at Glasgow’s Circus School! Get ready to make memories, snap some Instagram moments, and most importantly, have a ball.

Whether you want to join for laughs, fitness, or to unleash your secret circus superstar, this is your chance to swing into action.

So, what are you waiting for? Run away to the circus for a day!

You can book one session each in every one of the arts available on the day – flying trapeze, aerial hoop, silks, rope, hammock and trapeze, plus acrobatics and trampoline.

Just click the link and you’ll go through some quick and easy steps to make your bookings.

***Please – if you book and then it turns out you can’t make it, cancel your booking so that someone else can take it. This is such a great offer that there will be a waiting list.

Aerial Edge is the largest and longest established circus school in Scotland, offering you classes and courses regardless of your age, experience level, body shape, size or other factors.

The inherent fun of circus training makes it an enjoyable way to build fitness and strength, while the interaction between body and mind means it develops your coordination, concentration, confidence, creativity, communication and collaboration.

Youth Circus has recreational classes for ages 1 to 18, and a Performance Programme which is focused on producing two ensemble shows a year.

As well as adult recreational classes in a big range of circus arts, you can do three Circus Fitness classes per week, one with a focus on aerial skills, one that includes handstand skills and another which is focused on aerial conditioning.

You can also train to become a circus professional with our full-time courses lasting four weeks and four months, and pros can use Open Training slots every weekday.

No matter which classes or courses you choose, we provide regular opportunities for you to create and act which you can perform at our shows, if you choose.
