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

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

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.

Frequently asked questions

Which venues near Leeds can host a large event?

On our list, New Dock Hall Royal Armouries (up to 1500 guests) and Leeds United (up to 1200 guests) can take 400 or more guests. Tell us your venue and numbers and we will plan acrobats around the space.

Do venues around Leeds have rules for performers?

Many hotels and country houses have rules on ceiling rigging, fire, access times and changing space. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we will check everything before we confirm.

How much do acrobats cost in Leeds?

There is no fixed price. Every event is different. Prices depend on the acts, the number of performers, timings, travel and location, so we quote each booking individually. Travel is part of the quote, and Leeds is 8 miles east of Bradford. Send us your date and venue for free, no-obligation options.

Which postcodes around Leeds do you cover?

All of LS1, LS2, LS3, LS4, LS5, LS6, LS7, LS8, LS9, LS10, LS11, LS12, LS13, LS14, LS15, LS16, LS17 and LS18, including Bardsey, Shadwell, East Keswick, Bramhope, Barwick in Elmet and Scholes, plus the rest of West Yorkshire and nearby Batley, Bradford, Dewsbury and Wakefield.

Do acrobats need rigging?

Usually not. Most acrobatic acts are floor-based and need only a clear, level space.

Can acrobats perform outdoors?

Often, yes, on firm level ground in dry weather. We agree a plan B with the venue.

How long is an acrobatic show?

Usually a short, high-impact set, or several short spots through the evening. We plan it around your timings.

How far ahead should we book?

As early as you can. Friday and Saturday dates in December and the summer months go first, often months ahead. Short notice is sometimes possible, so it is always worth asking.

Can the performers match our theme or brand colours?

Usually, yes. Tell us your theme, colours or brand guidelines and we will suggest the costumes and acts that fit best.

Do you work with our venue and event team?

Yes. We agree access, changing space, timings and any venue rules before the day, and work to your run of show.

Still have questions?

Tell us about your event and we'll come back with options.
