The membership fee does NOT apply if you are joining us for an Adult Course, Youth Course, Taster Session, Private Tuition, or Workshop.

If you are injured, ill or unable to train physically, we strongly recommend that you still attend class whenever possible to take notes.

You will be required to produce valid discount ID upon arrival of first class, if this is not produced a top-up fee to regular Adult Course fee will be due, along with a £10 admin fee charge.

For Drop-Ins (Flying Trapeze only): Select Drop-In option under the "Choose Your Class" category, and once added to the cart, click on "add special instructions +" to display a box where you can add the date(s) you want to attend in the course cycle. You can amend a Drop-In date only within the course cycle, and subject to availability. If you do not attend your advised Drop-In date, the class is lost.

For Private Tuition: This requires 48 hours notice in order to be rescheduled. Failure to provide 48 hours notice will result in loss of the session. Clients are responsible for their own warm-up and cool-down, outside of the 1 hour training session they purchase (so before and after). If, as the client you prefer to do these with your instructor leading, then be aware that it does cut into the tuition time. Alternatively, you can top-up your payment (30 minutes to the value of the session) at reception desk to include a 15 minute warm-up and 15 minute cool-down. Should you know you want this in advance, you can pre-arrange and pre-pay via reception. Privates are subject to rescheduling if studio hire has been booked. Membership is not required for private sessions.

Health & Safety:

At AirCraft Circus Academy, we make every effort to make our classes and training as safe as possible, however, Circus and Aerial Arts carry an element of physical exertion and risk.

Proper warm-up and cool-down procedures are recommended before and after every class (self or instructor lead). If with an instructor, you must inform them if you have previous injuries or strains that may affect you when training. It is your responsibility to inform AirCraft Circus Academy of any information which requires updating on your membership form prior to renewal or throughout your year of membership.

If you have an allergy which identifies as anaphylactic (and disclosed on your membership form), you must carry the required 2 epipens. Failure to do so is at your own risk and AirCraft Circus Academy has the right to refuse you entry. AirCraft Circus Academy also has the right to refuse entry to any deemed unsafe.

If you are unsure of your skill level when booking a course, please get in touch or stop by the space, and we can assist you.

Filming & Photography:

Whilst students are permitted to take random photographs and also take short segment video of themselves during their session(s), (regular youth / adult / professional courses, privates, workshops etc), the student is responsible for obtaining expressed consent from any other subject they are photographing / filming.

The student should take care to only capture the subject who has given consent and not any others using the space.

If you have given consent to photos and video being taken of you during training by AirCraft Circus Academy, these images may be used across our owned media channels, as well as third party websites we use to promote our services - there is no financial compensation given for usage of these images. For more information please contact reception.
