The Oak Circus Centre

The most welcoming and fun place to learn new skills! I can't speak highly enough of Oak Circus - I've been attending for around three months, and each of the teachers I've had brings an incredible amount of knowledge and skill to the sessions. More importantly they are engaging, full of joy and enthusiasm, and push you (only as much as you need) to try stuff you'd never thought you'd do. Plus you get really individualised feedback on how to improve your handstand or do a particular trick, while also learning as group. It's such a supportive, lovely place - I wish I'd found it sooner!

My children are really enjoying their classes at the Oak Circus Centre. There is a great variety of things to practice & learn in each session, it's full of fun & they leave with massive smiles on their faces. So glad we've discovered this for our home education. thank you

An incredible space where people are welcomed with open arms as family. I always feel safe and included during classes with the expert tutors and my abilities are always catered for.

My daughter had her 8th birthday party with these lovely people at the weekend and had the best time! I would highly recommend it for any age so much fun!

Recently had a residency here with a group of circus artists and had a wonderful experience. The staff are very friendly and create a very welcoming atmosphere. They are dedicated to circus, you can even see them on the posters around the space demonstrating and practising circus techniques! As a fan of gothic architecture, it was great to work in such a beautiful space with large windows letting in lots of light, a beautiful wooden ceiling and a large area to move, project and film in. Would recommend to anyone.

My girlfriend and I attended as we both really want to be able to do handstands and the class was amazing. Went from no knowledge of how or where to start and now much more confident and being able to do one (even if it’s only a few seconds). Coaching and tips were great!

We booked a party for my 9 year old. She does gymnastics and this was right up her street. Lovely venue and staff, all the girls really enjoyed it..it all went smoothly and I was really pleased. Great place for a kids party.

The dedicated, professional teachers have helped me to progress in my circus journey. They are inspiring, patient and a lot of fun! The Oak is a wonderful space to train in and long may it continue. Many thanks to all involved.

I had been trying to find something to celebrate my daughters 18th birthday. It needed to be a privately held family event, which catered for all ages, aged 4 to 76.Stumbling across this venue online, I contacted them to find out more.Annabel was extremely helpful and accommodated all my tweaks and was able to tailor make the event to exactly what I was after.We were able to bring our own food, drinks, and decorations, although there was the option for them to provide this at an additional cost.The event itself was amazing. It was a surprise for my daughter, but everyone else was excited and looking forward to it. The two instructors, Floor and Farid, were fantastic and made it clear from the start that there was no pressure. People could do as little or as much as they wanted or adapt things. They soon got the measure of people's capabilities or nervousness and encouraged and supported them accordingly.They were funny and friendly as well, making the event feel very relaxed.The activities like trapeze, tightrope, and silks were so much fun. New activities for nearly all of us.Although the birthday girl had an absolutely great time, so did everyone else, which is unusual for parties like this.To be able to cater for all is a skill in itself.Floor and Farid, thank you for helping us make wonderful memories for my daughter's 18th!

They are super supportive at The Oak, and have gone above and beyond to help me learn and grow. They have such a beautiful space which helps create an amazing atmosphere to train and have fun.I would 100% recommend them for complete beginners or people who train already.
