Jacksons Lane supports some 100 companies and artists every year, and offers valuable resources in the form of mentoring, space, production, commissioning, technical support, promotion and production. It has a growing roster of Associate Artists and in 2015 has commissioned two brand new productions as part of its 40th Birthday - exciting emerging collective Silver Lining with Throwback and a brand new work from Gandini Juggling - Meta. The annual Postcards Festival runs each Summer and showcases an exciting range of circus, cabaret and extraordinary performance, including shorts, solo work and new commissions.

Jacksons Lane is a venue for Circusfest in association with The Roundhouse, hosts several productions each year as part of The London International Mime Festival and supports the annual Total Theatre Award for Circus at the Edinburgh Festival.
