Aerial & Pole Picnic

A pride-filled picnic with a twist! Come along for a kōrero, a feast, and have a go at hanging from one of our apparatuses! We have pole, aerial hoop and silks available. Enjoy some breathtaking feature performances and demos from instructors at Altitude Nelson, who will also be around to help guide you with trying a move, if you wish! Bring your kai, picnic blankets, camping chairs, and come hang with us. This is family-friendly so bring the little ones (and your fur babies, the park is dog-friendly), your friends and anybody who you think would be keen to give this a go, or hang out and watch some epic aerial arts! Some snacks will be provided, we please ask that you BYO lunch.

Trying an apparatus is NOT mandatory, we would love to see you regardless!
