Young Flyers - FAQs

     What is Youth Circus?

Our Youth Circus programme has been helping kids fly, flip and hang upside down since 2013! We offer fun, safe aerial circus training for children and young people across our London venues. While it might look like play, aerial circus also helps improve strength, coordination, balance, stamina, flexibility and confidence. Your Young and Teen Flyers will get to try out static trapeze, aerial slings, aerial hoop or aerial sling in weekly classes. The second to last week of term is show week, where grown ups are invited to come and watch the flyers short performances to show you what they’ve learnt all term! The last week of term is always games week, a fun treat to wind down after all of the hard work they’ve put in!
     How old does my child need to be to attend?

We offer classes and workshops for a range of ages:
  • Little Flyers Classes are for ages 5-6
  • Young Flyers Classes are for ages 7-11 or 7-16
  • Teen Flyer Classes are for ages 11-16
  • Summer camps are suitable for ages 7–16
  • Family workshops welcome ages 4–104!
  • Birthday parties have a minimum age of 7
     Where do your youth circus sessions run?

We have two Fantastic locations in Bankside / Union Street (SE1 0LR) and Peckham (SE15 5BA, in the back of the Lidl Car park)
     Do children need previous experience?

Not at all! All of our sessions are beginner-friendly and designed for children with little or no aerial experience, unless stated otherwise in the class title and description, don't worry, we'll make it obvious!
     What should my child wear?

  • Leggings or fitted sportswear
  • A top that covers the shoulders
  • No zips, sequins, studs or baggy clothing
  • No jewellery, especially rings - so please leave them at home so you don’t lose them!
  • No shoes are needed for aerial 
     Can I transfer or refund term-time classes?

Unfortunately, term-time classes are non-refundable and non-transferable except where sessions cannot run due to Government restrictions. You can always book a trial class before booking the whole term so your flyers can try taking flight before commiting to a full term! 
     Where and when do parties take place?

We usually run parties on Saturdays at 3:30-5pm in both our Union Street and Peckham Studios although we may have availability at another time, depending on our timetable. 
     How much does a party cost?

A 90-minute aerial party costs £390 for up to 12 participants. We require full payment at time of booking. 
     How many children can attend a party?

Each party includes up to 12 participants. If you have a larger group, you can add extra participants at £35pp but this will need to be confirmed at least 2 weeks before the party date so we can make sure we have enough of our wonderful instructors to make your flyer’s birthday party the best it can be!
     Do kids need previous aerial experience to come to a party?

Absolutely! Our parties are designed for complete beginners and no prior experience is needed as we’ll structure your party to the level of the participants!
     Can we bring food or a birthday cake to our party?

We don’t have the facilities to cater for food after your party but we will happily recommend some local places for after the party, just pop us an email!
     How do I book a children's party?

You can book your party via email, phone or online. To book online click HERE!
     Can I cancel my party?

We cannot offer refunds on group or party bookings with less than 3 weeks notice, but will give a 50% refund if cancelled with more than 3 weeks notice. Rescheduling is subject to Flying Fantastic’s availability and discretion.
     What happens in a summer camp?

SO MUCH UPSIDE DOWN FUN!

On our week long summer camps, flyers age 7-16yo get to do the core four: aerial hoop, silks, trapeze and sling as well as try out some of our more niche aerial equipment and do complimentary circus skills too! To see a sample timetable CLICK HERE!

To finish the week, on the Friday there will be a short show for your flyers to showcase their favourite apparatus and what they're learnt with us!
