Third time's the charm. All good things come in threes. Two's company, three's a crowd? In any case, we're doing it all again! The third edition of the Edinburgh Acrobatics Festival will follow a similar structure to the last two editions, except this time, we're in a new venue! And yes, this one doesn't have the world's most aggressive air conditioning. This event is a fantastic opportunity for those of us in Scotland who usually have to travel far for a large scale acrobatics meet up. The teaching lineup will showcase some local Scottish acrobatic talent and you can look forward to workshops from teachers from slightly further afield who wouldn't normally be seen out in the wild in Scotland.
This will link you to the timetable from last year which will give you a very good idea of what you can expect from this year's workshops. The plan is to offer 8 taught workshops over the three days with a choice of four (or maybe even five if we sell well) workshops at each timetabled workshop slot. There will be at least one beginner workshop running throughout to ensure that even those without a strong acrobatic practice feel welcome at all times. There will also be one solo workshop on offer at all times so that you can work on your handstands and solo acrobatics as well. There will also be timetabled jams at the end of each day as well as a led warm up and cool down.
The Venue: All three days will be in the same place in the Heriot's Centre for Sport and Exercise, Grassmarket, up the Hunters Close, EH1 2HJ, Edinburgh EH3 9HE
Dates and times: 16th - 18th October 2026
Friday 1pm - 9pm

Food: The event will not be catered, but there are lots of options a short walk away. Grassmarket is about as central as it gets in Edinburgh. There are a variety of cafes and restaurants surrounding the venue.
There will be a 1h15 lunch break on Saturday and Sunday.
Ticket Prices: Tickets cost £160 in early bird and £180 thereafter. Early bird ends on the 1st of June.

All practice of acrobatics involves some risk. We will do everything we can to make sure the training is as safe as possible. You should follow the instructions given by coaches/experienced acrobats and always make sure to ask if something is not clear or comfortable for you. By being clear about what is expected of our participants, we intend to establish a safe environment.
