Held at the amazing Cambridge Acro Festival venue, we’ve lined up 2.5 days of workshops and play time with some of the best teachers around.
TEACHERS
To whet your acro appetite, confirmed so far, we have the fantastic…
– Paul Griffioen coming over from the Netherlands

LEVEL
We ask that everyone attending this convention is able to:
1. Hold a stable front bird for 20 seconds

ACCOMMODATION
Please feel free to use this event page to find acro friends in Cambridge to stay with 🙂 Alternatively there are plenty of hotels / air bnbs in the area – probably best to book ahead as these do fill up!
TRANSPORT
By air: Stansted airport is by far the most convenient. From there, you can either hire a car and drive to the sports hall (30 min drive; parking is easy) or you can take the train (see below).
By train: Cambridge Station is the most convenient. Cambridge North Station is much less convenient. From Cambridge Station here you can take Busway Route U directly from the station to the sports hall, or order an Uber.
By car: there is loads of parking just outside the venue.
