as the annual convention returns for another year! Entrance numbers this year are limited

any available tickets costing £20 on the door. Please note that more than half
the available tickets have already been booked so act now before it is too

Circus Skill, Performing Art, Sport or Hobby, Whipcracking can be any of these things.
Is your hero Indiana Jones, Cat Woman or Lash Larue? If you are interested in whips then this is the event for you.
- If you are a novice
who has never cracked a whip before come and join us. Have fun
practicing an exciting new activity that's challenging, healthy and
relatively cheap to get started in. The sport is accessible to almost
anyone regardless of gender, age or physical ability. We have whips for
you to borrow,if you don't have your own; and you will go away from the
day knowing enough to progress further on you own. After that, you
don't need huge amountsof expensive coaching or equipment - just a
whip, enough space to throw it, and some common sense about safety.
-
- If you are an experienced whipcracker, come and test your skills in the competitions, learn new cracks or share your knowledge with fellow whipenthusiasts.
-
- Please Note
that reasonable precautions will be taken as regards to safety but, as
with any sport, it is impossible to remove all risk. The organisers

convention. Please see our safety page for information of suitable
clothing etc for Convention attendees.
