What circus acts can we book?

Circus acts include a ringmaster to host the night, contortionists, aerialists, stilt walkers and big-top characters. You can book one act or a full circus-themed show.

Circus suits awards nights, launches, summer parties and festivals, because every act gives guests something to watch and share.

Let the ringmaster host
A ringmaster can run the whole night, from welcome to awards.

Build a running order
Spread acts through the night so there is always a reason to look up.

Frequently asked questions

Can a circus theme work at a hotel or conference venue?

Yes. We choose acts that fit the space, including freestanding aerial rigs that need no ceiling points.

How much do circus acts cost in the UK?

There is no one fixed price. Every event is different. Prices depend on the acts, the number of performers, timings, travel and location, so we quote each booking individually. Send us your date, venue and timings and we will come back with a clear quote, usually the same day.

How far ahead should we book?

As early as you can. Friday and Saturday dates in December and the summer months go first, often months ahead. Short notice is sometimes possible, so it is always worth asking.
