I m 51 and scared of heights, I can t even get on a downwards escalator without pausing at the top. I did the flying trapeze with lots of help and trembling throughout. The whole day left me on a high. I was proud of myself for doing things despite being scared, but also had loads of fun and was a quick way to build arm and core strength. Whatever your age, fitness levels or your fears are about circus don t let them stop you trying this. The teachers are patient, supportive and kind.
