Aidy is a normal 8 year old girl… or so she thinks! One day she discovers a family secret that changes everything. Aidy and her granny embark on an adventure that turns their world upside down.

Aidy the Awesome is a stunning aerial theatre show for all the family to enjoy. Watch the performers fly, zoom and spin through the air!
