The Albany Centre is a unique training space for circus performers in Bristol. It is an artist-led and artist-run charitable organisation with no external funding and has been functioning like this for over 25 years now. It houses training; and rehearsal space for professional performers, with evening classes that are open to the public (such as Pilates and aerial).
A valued and precious social hub for the circus artists that use it, the Albany Centre connects many self-employed and solo-working performers in Bristol. It is run entirely by volunteers and has always been self-funding, so we hold a fundraising cabaret once a year to showcase the amazing talents that use the space presently or have done in the past, plus any other fantastic performers who wish to donate their time. Everyone involved in the cabaret works for free, with 100% of the money raised going back into the charity.
