Frequently asked questions – Adult Flying Trapeze Course

Do I need to be super fit or flexible to join?

Not at all. You’ll need a reasonable base level of mobility to be able to climb a ladder and a rope (with a bit of help). Specific experience in Flying Trapeze, Cloud Swing or Swinging Traoeze is not required, but you will need to be able to climb up a rope. The course is paced to meet you where you’re at.

What should you wear and bring?

A packed lunch and water bottle
Comfortable sportswear (leggings or shorts, T-shirt)
Layers for warmth and weather
Hair tied back and no jewellery
Suncream and a waterproof (English weather can be unpredictable!)
Optional notebook for those who like to journal their learning!
If you have trapeze boots/gators please bring them (this is not expected)

What’s the group size?

We keep group numbers to a maximum of 10 so everyone gets multiple turns, personalised feedback, and lots of support. For the Swinging Trapeze & Cloudswing we will be splitting into two even smaller groups of 5, where you will have and be able to watch others have their 1:1 session.

What happens if I’m nervous or unsure?

You’re in great company — many adults come to this course with nerves! Our team is skilled in helping people build confidence step-by-step. We’ll never push you beyond what feels good.

Is it safe?

All learners learn while harnessed and secured by safety lines, or are kept safe by spotters & mats. Our flying trapeze and aerial programmes are specifically designed for young people, with professional instructors, full safety equipment, and a net. We prioritise fun and safety equally!
