Come and enter the world of The Swings. Watch as aerialists swing, climb, play and perform. Then the Swings are open to experience for the public to come and have a go. Swinging will activate a soundscape full of memories of being on a swing. Feel the rush of air past your face and be inspired by the aerialists with what you can do with a swing!
