Our Cheltenham aerial arts classes are held in the Drama Studio at Cheltenham Bournside Sports Centre on Warden Hill Road. Please note the sports centre is behind Bournside School!
As you turn into Cheltenham Bournside from Warden Hill Road, go all the way to the end of the little road to take you to the sports centre. There is free parking at the sports centre, and you can use the parking at Bettridge School directly opposite the sports centre too.
Please enter the sports centre directly from the car park. The entrance is just set back to the right and slightly behind the Coffee Rocks van (great for a pick me up before classes!). Walk through the double doors along the corridor until you reach reception. The drama studio is directly opposite reception.
You can also watch a short video on h0ow to locate the studio space here.
