Fantastic experience! We booked Becky for a fire performance and aerial lollipop performance for our corporate event. Communication was quick and clear, Becky was very helpful from planning in the lead up, choreographing music to guest interaction on the night. Both performances were perfect and our team enjoyed this element during the event. Would recommend and book again

From Festivals to Stately Homes: The Ultimate Guide to Hiring Aerialists in the UK
Across the rolling hills of the British countryside, in magnificent stately homes, and within the canvas walls of festival tents, some of the UK’s most memorable events are taking place. We’ve moved beyond the idea that spectacular entertainment is reserved for city-centre ballrooms. Today, you can create a truly magical experience anywhere.
As event professionals, one of the questions we hear most often is, “I’m planning a wedding in a barn, can I have an aerialist?” The answer is a resounding, exciting “Yes!” Thanks to incredible talent and ingenious equipment, you can bring the breathtaking art of aerial performance to almost any location in the UK.
Forget everything you thought you knew about the limitations of your venue. This is your complete guide to hiring an aerialist, no matter your postcode.
The Big Question: How Can an Aerialist Perform in a Barn, Marquee, or Field?
This is the key that unlocks it all: the free-standing aerial rig.
Think of it as a giant, sturdy, portable tripod, specifically engineered for aerial arts. These incredible pieces of kit can be set up by a professional performer in around 30-45 minutes on any flat, stable ground. They are the single biggest reason why aerial entertainment has become accessible for every type of event, from rural weddings to brand roadshows.
Here’s what you need to know about them:
They are versatile: A rig can be set up outdoors on a lawn or in a field, or indoors inside a marquee, tipi, or barn with a high ceiling.
They are safe: Professionally manufactured and rigorously tested, these structures are the industry standard for events without fixed rigging points. The performer is an expert in their own equipment.
They require space: You’ll need a footprint of around 6x6 metres on the ground and, crucially, clear, unobstructed height above. Rigs come in various sizes, but you’ll typically need between 5 and 8 metres of vertical space.
The free-standing rig means your dream of an aerialist soaring above your guests can become a reality, whether you're in the Scottish Highlands or the Cornish coast.
Choosing Your Aerial Style for the Great Outdoors (and Indoors!)
With the venue no longer a barrier, you can focus on the fun part: choosing the style of performance that best suits your event.
Aerial Hoop: The classic choice for a reason. Its circular shape is wonderfully photogenic and it’s incredibly versatile. An aerialist on a hoop is a perfect centrepiece for a rustic luxury wedding in a beautifully lit barn.

Curated suppliers
All Poptop’s suppliers are rigorously vetted and approved by our team of party experts, ensuring you book the very best.
Aerial Silks: There is nothing more magical than seeing long, flowing silks fluttering in a gentle breeze at an outdoor event. For an enchanted garden or fairy-lit theme, the silks become a part of the scenery, creating an ethereal and unforgettable spectacle.
Static Trapeze and other acts: For a boho festival theme, a classic circus act like the trapeze is a brilliant choice. It brings a touch of authentic, old-school cool to the proceedings, delighting guests of all ages.
The Perfect British Backdrop: Venues Across the UK
The beauty of hiring an aerialist in the UK is the sheer variety of stunning locations you can use as your stage.
Barns: The quintessential rural wedding venue. A free-standing rig looks fantastic inside a barn with a high vaulted ceiling. In some cases, historic beams can be used for rigging, but this must only be done after a thorough structural assessment by a qualified professional rigger.
Marquees and Tipis: These are a perfect blank canvas. A rig can be set up right in the middle of the space, creating a natural focal point for the entertainment.
Stately Homes: Offer the best of both worlds. You can have a performance inside a grand ballroom or library, or set up a rig on the lawn with the magnificent house as your backdrop for some truly epic photos.
Outdoor Fields and Festivals: This is where the free-standing rig truly comes into its own. You can create a dedicated performance area in the middle of a field, drawing a huge crowd and adding a high-end, artistic attraction to your festival lineup.
Creating the Atmosphere: Themes for Every Occasion
A stunning performance can be made even more magical when it’s woven into the theme of your event.
Rustic Luxury: This is all about combining the natural charm of a rural setting with elegant, high-end touches. An aerialist in a simple, beautiful costume, performing to a classical or acoustic soundtrack under warm, ambient lighting, perfectly captures this sophisticated vibe.
Fairy-lit: As dusk begins to fall, imagine an aerialist performing on a rig that has been wound with hundreds of tiny, twinkling fairy lights. It is pure, unadulterated magic and one of the most romantic sights you can create at a wedding or private party.
Boho Festival: For that laid-back, effortlessly cool festival wedding. Think performers in fringed or floral costumes, perhaps with glitter and gems, performing to an indie-pop playlist. It’s fun, informal, and utterly charming.
Enchanted Garden: Turn your outdoor space into a fantasy world. An aerialist can become a magical woodland creature or a fairy, using props and bespoke costumes to create a piece of immersive theatre that will enchant guests of all ages.
The Practicalities: UK-wide Costs and What to Consider
When you’re booking a performer for an event outside of a major city, there are a couple of extra things to keep in mind.
First, the budget. Here’s a general guide, but remember that prices will vary based on the performer’s experience and your event’s specific requirements:
Solo Performer: £400 – £850 + travel
Duo Performance: £700 – £1,500 + travel
The "+ travel" is the key thing to note. Most performers will charge for mileage and their time to get to and from your location. When searching, it’s often most cost-effective to find a brilliant performer who is based relatively locally.
Secondly, for any outdoor performance, always have a chat about the weather! A professional performer will not be able to perform in high winds or heavy rain for safety reasons, so it’s essential to have a wet-weather contingency plan, even if it’s just postponing the performance until a shower passes.
