Terms and conditions – Adult courses

T&Cs for those interested in our recreational courses

Further information

Adult programme classes are for those aged 16 and above.

Evening courses are usually 12 weeks long with a half term break. Where a course runs for less than 12 weeks (due to bank holidays, closures etc) or for longer, the price will be adjusted accordingly.

Complete beginners should start their training on the Level 1 course. If you believe your skill level to be within our level 2 or 3 courses then you can attend an assessment where your level will be assessed and, where appropriate, your name can be added to the relevant course interest list. This does not apply to Tightwire or Flying Trapeze. If you are interested in either of these courses you will need to book on to the course from Level 1.

All courses and classes are non-refundable and non-transferable.

All courses and classes must be paid for in full prior to beginning the course or class.

Please note, for participants who booked onto our courses at a concession rate, proof of concession will be required by our Customer Services team.

We reserve the right to cancel or amend courses or classes, in which case pro rata refunds will be made.

Unfortunately pregnant people are not allowed to take part in our courses or fitness classes.

You will not be allowed to take part in any class or workshop if there is any indication that you have had any alcohol or taken drugs prior to the class or workshop.

Teacher Availability

We attempt to provide consistency, assigning the same teacher for your entire scheduled course. However, to ensure the programme continuity and address unforeseen scheduling conflicts, we may have to substitute teachers for particular classes within the course, and may schedule different teachers for the same discipline in subsequent course terms.

Social Media

At the end of a Circus Experience Day, we take a photo of the group for use on our Social Media channels. If you do not want to be featured, please let the coordinator know.

Warm ups and latecomers

Please ensure you are in the reception area, changed and ready to begin, prior to your class start time. Latecomers will not be admitted.

All students are required to take part in the led warm-up for their class. If you have any medical reason that limits your ability to take part in the warm up please let us know and we will endeavour to support your needs.
