Anchored In Air, the highly anticipated debut show from Head Over Wheels returns to Brighton by popular demand, to The Circus Yard in the Big Puck. Redefining the boundaries of contemporary circus, this groundbreaking aerial theatre production seamlessly blends inclusive circus, dance, integrated audio description, and live music to create a captivating experience unlike any other.
Audiences will be transfixed by the beauty of wheelchairs floating into the sky, gravity defying acrobatics, and the challenge of navigating a colossal tower.

Each show offers a touch tour, easy read and audio programmes. The show is perfect for lovers of circus, theatre enthusiasts, and anyone seeking an experience that is both exhilarating and thought-provoking.
