				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21265" title="Gorilla Circus Flying Trapeze School" src="http://dx9rjq5h30myv.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/gorilla_circus_539.jpg" alt="" width="539" height="359" /></p>
<p>Since seeing <a href="http://blog.visitlondon.com/?s=7+doigts+de+la+main">Les 7 Doigts de la Main</a> at the Peacock Theatre last year, I have had a burning desire to run away and join the circus.</p>
<p>This Sunday, I got as far as <a href="http://www.visitlondon.com/attractions/detail/3876795">Walpole Park</a> in Ealing and spent an afternoon flying upside down at the <a href="http://www.gorillacircus.com/">Gorilla Circus</a> flying trapeze school &#8211; one of the only two flying trapeze schools in the UK that are open to the general public, and the only circus school in London that takes place outside.</p>
<p>A quick warm-up on the practice bar and we were up the ladder ready to have a go. Under the instruction of Erza and Debs, who have 20 plus years of gymnastics and circus performance experience between them, the group were ready to fly within minutes.</p>
<p>The below video shows my final attempt, where you get the opportunity to be caught by Debs who is on the other trapeze. As you can see, it’s all about the timing, which wasn’t my strong point on this attempt!</p>
<p>The classes are a really fun couple of hours and open to people of all ages and sizes. With a maximum of 10 in each group, you get a good few flights in each session. Flying trapeze classes this summer cost £22.50 per person and will be held at Acton Green, <a href="http://www.visitlondon.com/attractions/detail/607119">Regent’s Park</a> and <a href="http://www.visitlondon.com/attractions/detail/9121604">Battersea Park</a> &#8211; booking essential.</p>
