Gymnastics site to open with Cirque du Soleil gear

It took more than two years to get the centre ready

A new gymnastics centre is opening in Surrey after receiving equipment from Cirque du Soleil.

On Monday, Prime Acrobatics will be opening its new gymnastics centre in Camberley with equipment including teeterboards, a Russian cradle, large balancing globes, aerial hoops and silks.

The Woking-based group's aim is to promote gymnastics and acrobatics-based exercise for all ages.

Matte Hart, company operations executive at the club, said: "It's taken over two years to get to this point with building renovations as well as designing and constructing bespoke equipment."

The club teaches tight wire, trapeze, aerial hoop and teeterboard as well as tumbling and acrobatics.

At the opening the group will be joined by British Gymnastics CEO Sarah Powell, Surrey Heath Borough Council's deputy mayor Cliff Betton, representatives of Active Surrey and Prime Acrobatics member Lloyd Martin.

Mr Martin, who has Down's syndrome, completed the London Marathon in 2024 to become the youngest person in his learning disability category to complete a marathon.
