SUMMARY:For Miss La La
DESCRIPTION:A free outdoor circus takeover of Croydon High Street. Celebrating where circus has come from and the artists who are creating it today.\nThis July\, Upswing and Culture Croydon are transforming Croydon High Street into an open-air circus for the whole family.

An Afro-German aerialist whose feats of strength were so extraordinary that Edgar Degas attended her performances four nights running and painted her suspended high above the Cirque Fernando\, held only by her jaw. \nThat painting now hangs at full scale in Croydon as part of the National Gallery’s Art on Your Doorstep programme\, and this July\, Upswing is bringing the street to life in her honour. \n\nPlan your visit\nThe event runs across two days on Croydon High Street. There are performances from roller skating and hula hoop to aerial silks and acrobatics\,\, crafts activities\, workshops and a DJ spinning a mix of afrobeats and classical to set the scene on both days. Something for younger children\, older children and adults at every turn – reason enough to make a day of it in Croydon. \n\n\n\n\n\nWhen:\nSaturday 4 July\, 1pm to 6pm\nSunday 5 July\, 12pm to 5pm \nWhere:\nHigh Street\, Croydon\nSee the exact location on Google Maps\nWhat Three Words: ///fired.young.crab \nCost:\nAll of the activities are totally free \n\n\n\n\nGetting there \nCroydon is easily accessible from across London\, with direct services from London Bridge\, Clapham Junction and London Victoria to East Croydon.
