WELCOME TO THE NOTTINGHAM ACRO CONVENTION 2027!

We’re so excited to be back for our third year, bringing you another weekend full of inspiring workshops, playful jams, new challenges and connection with acro communities from across the UK and beyond.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

📍 WHERE & WHEN?

Saturday 23rd & Sunday 24th January 2027

Long Eaton, Nottingham

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🤸 WHAT IS IT?

The Nottingham Acro Convention (NAC) is a two-day partner acrobatics event held in Nottingham, UK. Across the weekend, you’ll find a packed programme of workshops for all levels, covering a variety of styles from Icarian and H2H to three highs and beyond, alongside open jams and plenty of opportunities to play, practise and connect with the wider community.

The inspiration behind NAC is opportunity — for everyone. An opportunity for both new and experienced teachers to share their skills and connect with a fresh community, and an opportunity for students to step into the world of conventions within a friendly, supportive and welcoming environment.

This is an opportunity for us all to meet, move and celebrate acro together — with people from across the UK and beyond.

We take pride in bringing together such a loving community. Whatever your worries, you can leave them at the door — at NAC, we’re here to support one another, lift each other up and grow together.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

👥 WHO CAN ATTEND?

NAC is aimed at acro-ers of all experience levels, with workshops ranging from beginner through to advanced level.

Each workshop round, you’ll have 4 workshops to choose from, always with a beginner option and plenty of choice for intermediate and advanced students.

Once each day, there may also be a fifth Newbie-focused workshop, covering the foundations of acro, depending on demand.

The event will not include food, but there are corner shops on the street and larger supermarkets within a 10-minute walk. There are also plenty of fast-food options and restaurants surrounding the venue, as we are in the heart of Long Eaton town centre.

We’ll have food trucks on site on Saturday evening from 7:30–9pm, with food available to purchase directly from them, including vegan and gluten-free options.

We’re also hoping to have food trucks available during Sunday’s lunch break — more details to come!

Alongside our Standard Tickets, we’ll also have a Supporter Ticket for those who can afford a little extra and would like to support NAC.

Our Accessible Tickets are there for those who feel the lower price makes attending NAC more accessible to them. There’s no time limit or early-booking deadline on these tickets — they’ll remain available throughout booking until the allocation sells out, helping to lessen the need to rush.
