Cambridge Community Circus is a not-for-profit organisation run by volunteers that teaches a variety of circus arts in Cambridge, UK. We aim to provide open practise & taught sessions in aerial disciplines including trapeze, silks, hoop, rope (corde lisse), straps and cloud. You can also come along to practise and learn ground-based skills including juggling balls, clubs and rings, poi, hula hoop, diabolo and unicycling!

FAQ
-
My son/daughter or myself are under 18 and would like to learn or practise, can they come along?
Cambridge Community Circus is currently in a transitional period while we restructure and look for a new main venue. Unfortunately that means we are not open to under 16s, those between 16 and 18 can attend if their parents are present. We hope to add more sessions, including those aimed at under 16s, very soon - please join our mailing list and we’ll keep you up to date! -
Can you perform or teach at our event, school, youth group etc.?
Although we'd love to help, unfortunately we don't currently have the capacity to attend your event. -
I'm a total beginner, can I attend your sessions?
You're welcome to come along on a Sunday and we will teach you to juggle! At the moment we're not running any beginners aerial classes but we hope to start these soon. -
What does 'signed off' mean for aerial sessions?
This means your teacher has deemed you are safe to practise aerial skills unsupervised. If you have attended our classes in the past please contact your teacher if you think you are ready to be signed off. -
What other circus classes and practise sessions are running near Cambridge?
There are a number of other aerial spaces in the region including The Pole Shed in Ely. The Juggling Edge maintains a directory of circus skills workshops. Please note these organisations are not affiliated with Cambridge Community Circus and these links are provided for information only. -
When will more sessions be running?
We hope to start more sessions in Autumn 2026, capacity and venues permitting - but we have no firm plans yet. Please join our mailing list as we'll announce any new sessions there.
