Every day at dawn our Artistic Director @Ade_Berry begins his unique morning ritual: drinks 2 cups of black coffee, watches 5 circus clips, ruminates.
This week we were lucky enough to capture this very special event.

After today's advice from the Government to avoid theatres, bars & restaurants, we've taken the difficult decision to close Jacksons Lane to the public from tomorrow.
This is an active situation – we'll have more updates soon about our upcoming activities.
