Leys Institute restoration

We are so pleased by the news that the restoration of Leys Institute is set to go ahead with no more roadblocks!

The gymnasium is where our aerial arts school, Aracnation, first started and flourished in its first few years before the closure of the Leys buildings.

We have fond memories of establishing our community in this space, and can’t wait to see what the renewal looks like when it’s finished. While we have a new home at Empire Studios in Grey Lynn, the school is constantly welcoming new students interested in learning aerial circus, and we hope one day we might return to Leys as a second location.

Fantastic that these significant heritage buildings will be able to be used and enjoyed by the community again in the future!

Gaby Ugalde, Director – Aracnation
