What is an Aerial Silk Performance?
Aerial silks is an acrobatic discipline where a trained aerialist climbs and performs wraps, drops and poses on suspended fabric, creating a moving sculpture above the audience. For UK events, it works as a high‑impact opener, interval show or ambient set, and can be tailored to brand music, costumes and staging. An act typically lasts 5 to 10 minutes, with the option to repeat across the evening. For receptions in London’s South Bank or conference stages in Birmingham, we align choreography, lighting and soundtrack to your brief, then integrate the act into your wider show run. For multi‑element productions, our team can coordinate with your Experiential Event Agency London partners to ensure smooth cues and transitions.
Our Aerial Acts and Formats
We offer bookable formats for gala stages, exhibition atriums and luxury venues from Westminster to Spinningfields. Choose a single showpiece or combine several for a varied programme. Solo Silks (dramatic feature)A single aerialist delivers wraps, drops and dynamic sequences that read clearly in large spaces like ExCeL London reception halls. Ideal for awards stings or product reveals. Duo Silks (synchronised or counterbalance)Two aerialists mirror or interlock choreography for striking symmetry. Works beautifully in Canary Wharf hotel ballrooms and Manchester Central conference stages. Aerial Hoop (Lyra)Circular apparatus with elegant spins and shapes, perfect for ambient sets in Kensington venues or Leeds Dock receptions where silks height is limited. Static or Dance TrapezeGreat for festivals and branded pop‑ups, adding a classic circus texture to Brand Activation Services London programmes. Themed Costumes and Branded MomentsFrom masquerade to futuristic palettes, we match wardrobe and fabrics to your cue‑to‑cue. For complex run‑of‑show needs, our Events Management Company London team can manage rehearsals, cues and stagecraft.
