Costs £3 (£2 concessions). Look here to find the school.Sorry, the Saffron Walden club is no longer running.

On Sundays between July and August, we meet informally outside from 6pm on Parker's Piece, a public park in Cambridge. We usually meet on the side of the park by the road called Parkside. Click here for a map. This is an informal meeting, it doesn't cost anything but there is only limited equipment available - please bring your own!

But I can't juggle or unicycle!

Don't worry, everyone has to start somewhere. Come to a workshop and we'll teach you all you need to know.

Do I have to come every week?

No, you can drop in any week, there are no fixed terms or courses.

What happens during July and August?

During July and August the Sunday session is closed, but there is an informal meeting and juggling session between 6-8 pm on Parker's Piece in Cambridge.

Do you do acrobatics?

We don't teach dynamic acrobatics - backflips etc., but the acrobatic balancing workshop runs on Tuesdays, click here for details.

What else happens?

We also run occasional one-off workshops in aerial skills, stiltwalking and more. Call or email for details. Special workshops cost £3. Contact us for details of when special workshops are run. Take a look at what we get up to:Photos 1,Photos 2,Movies 1
