Priding themselves on inspiring and nurturing young performers, The National Youth Theatre of Great Britain is the world-leading youth arts group. As one of our fun things to do, it will give your child a platform to showcase their talents that they may otherwise not have access to. With alumni including Helen Mirren and Daniel Craig, this could be their first step on the journey to the bright lights of the West End stage. On the final day, you will be able to see your child take to the stage to share their new-found talents!

High Flying!

How to book: https://www.gorillacircus.com/flyingtrapezeschool/

The Gorilla Circus is operating in one of London’s glorious green inner-city spaces and are offering you the chance to become a pro on the flying trapeze! Students will be eased into the process, practicing simple tricks on the lower bars and gradually moving up and onto the flying trapeze. Depending on how many classes your child takes, by the end of the summer their skillset on the trapeze could be very advanced. The great thing is your child can still visit the Gorilla Circus once Summer is up. Who knows, maybe they could be in the Cirque du Soleil next year!
