Wirral Cirque Academy
Inclusive Aerial Arts and Cirque Academy based in Birkenhead, Wirral. Welcoming students of all levels from Beginner to Elite
A curated studio space
Not only is our studio beautiful and welcoming, but safety, practicality and expertise are at the forefront of all that we do. Our team undertake rigorous rigging and equipment checks on a regular basis, with studio owner Toni being a certified Welder and Fabricator herself ensuring that all load testing and apparatus quality is upheld to the highest standard.
We have safety protocols for all our aerial and fire classes to ensure that not only do we risk assess to do all we can to prevent injury or accidents, but that we’re trained, certified, and prepared in the unlikely event they happen.

Our Celestial Arts team bring years of professional knowledge and experience to their instructor role, as well as a vast array of certifications, qualifications and training with some of the best artists in the world.
Our studio owner Toni has 22 years circus experience in 13 different disciplines, and multiple national and international competition titles to her name alone.
All our team are fully insured and hold the relevant DBS checks where required.
A supportive and inclusive community
Celestial Arts hosts a diverse community of students. In the 13 years we have called our Cleveland Street studio our home, we have seen over 1000 clients walk through our door ranging dramatically in age, clothes size, ability level etc. We not only welcome, but have classes that are accessible for, anyone who has a passion for cirque or the aerial arts.
We have students who have been with us since our first sessions were held in 2013, and nothing brings us more joy that being a part of your journey and celebrating your successes with you.

September at Celestial Arts
Intro to Hoop
4 Week course - Fri 6pm
Starting September 4th 2026
A four week course for those who are total beginners to Aerial Hoop, or have had little previous experience and would like to start again at a base level to rebuild strength and technique, and to improve their performance while learning a detailed catalogue of moves, flow and sequences including lifts, poses, transitions and rolls.
Our Beginners Aerial Hoop course is expertly planned with the expectation in mind that not all students will arrive with the level of muscular development to lift their own body weight straight away, and we use a carefully designed programme of conditioning and strength building techniques to progress our participants' level of fitness along with their Aerial Hoop ability.
