What do acrobats perform at events?

Event acrobats perform floor-based acts of strength and balance: hand balancing, partner lifts, human pyramids, tumbling and strongman routines. Unlike aerial acts, most need no rigging at all, just a clear, level space.

They can perform a short showpiece on stage, hold striking poses as a welcome act, or work through the crowd between sets. Acrobatic duos and comedy strongmen are especially popular at awards nights and summer parties.

Where it works best

Launches
Feats of strength around a reveal.
Awards nights
A showpiece to open the ceremony.
Circus themes
Strongmen and tumblers for a big-top night.
Family days
Comedy strongmen that everyone enjoys.
Welcome acts
Striking balance poses as guests arrive.
Summer parties
Outdoor shows on a lawn or terrace.

Tips from our team

1
Use a stage or riser
A raised area means guests at the back can see the whole act.
2
Check the ceiling for lifts
Partner lifts and balances add height. Tell us about low ceilings or chandeliers.
3
Give them a clear, level area
Acrobats need a flat, stable floor and room to move. Uneven ground limits the act.
