| Our Urban Circus space |
 |
|
We're taking over another alternative events space in east London - this time we transform a warehouse commissioned by King George III to supply London with coal and gas, while once being home to 1993 Turner Prize winner Rachel Whiteread and more recently 2002 winner Keith Tyson.
The Hoxton Docks is situated next to the Regent's Canal Towpath, nestled inbetween Hoxton and Haggerston Overground stations. A space that offers unique features, exposed brickwork and big open spaces - click here for the map

| Circus Life with Graffiti Life |
| Big top tents, human cats and flying pigs in pink tutus may be some of the weird and wonderful imagery Graffiti Life bring to life with their live art show. |
|
 |
|
| Armed with only marker pens and their imagination, they'll open your eyes to the darker and surreal side of the circus. |
|
| Keep your eyes pealed for other walls in the venue that have had the Graffiti Life treatment. |

| Hang with our aerial acrobatics... |
Armed with only a hoop, rope and the air around them, our aerialists show us the art of hanging around.
Described as 'Graceful aerial gymnastics' both Hester Campbell and Will Davis defy gravity whilst fusing together the beauty of movement with the danger of the circus. |

| Introducing the band… Riot Jazz |
|
Anchored in the same New Orleans swamplands as the Hot 8 Brass Band and Youngblood Brass Band, Riot navigate a minefield of original peace-lovin' aggro jazz, hip-hop samples, funked-up favourites and re-interpreted dubstep, drum 'n' bass and dance-floor bangers that never fail to send limbs flying! |
|
 |
|
|
The band recently spent two days in the studio with Plan B to record material for his upcoming album 'The Ballad of Belmarsh'. The guys have also warmed up the stage for Dizzee Rascal, Chase & Status and The Streets – appearing at V Festival, Bestival and Soundwave to name but a few! |
