Held at the amazing Cambridge Acro Festival venue, we’re running a small, personalised convention with heaps of space, incredible international teachers, lots of workshops across the levels, and plenty of time for jamming.
TEACHERS
Confirmed so far, we have the fantastic…
– Chris and Iona from Chris and Iona – Partner Acrobatics Duo

LEVEL
We ask that everyone attending this convention is able to:
1. Hold a stable 2-high (standing on shoulders) for 10 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.
