Frequently asked questions

Do venues around Shotts have rules for performers?

Many hotels and country houses have rules on ceiling rigging, fire, access times and changing space. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we will check everything before we confirm.

How much do circus acts cost in Shotts?

There is no 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. Travel is part of the quote, and Shotts is 18 miles east of Glasgow. Send us your date and venue for free, no-obligation options.

Which postcodes around Shotts do you cover?

All of ML7, including Harthill, Allanton, Salsburgh and Eastfield, plus the rest of Glasgow and nearby Motherwell, Hamilton, Cumbernauld and Lanark.

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 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.

Can the performers match our theme or brand colours?

Usually, yes. Tell us your theme, colours or brand guidelines and we will suggest the costumes and acts that fit best.

Do you work with our venue and event team?

Yes. We agree access, changing space, timings and any venue rules before the day, and work to your run of show.

Still have questions?
