Our Harlow venue list covers 2 hotels, 1 country house and 1 event venue, and The City Pavilion can hold up to 1200 guests. We plan circus entertainment around the space you have, from arrival routes to where a showpiece will be seen best.

What is in a circus package?
A circus theme is all about spectacle: a ringmaster to run the night, aerialists overhead, contortionists, stilt walkers and fire to finish.
It works brilliantly for awards nights, product launches and summer parties, because every act gives guests something to point at and film. Freestanding aerial rigs mean you do not need ceiling rigging points.

Tips from our team
- 1
Let the ringmaster host
A ringmaster can introduce speeches, awards and each act, so the night flows like a show.
- 2
Go outdoors for fire
Save the fire show for a terrace, courtyard or garden as the finale.
- 3
Check your ceiling early
If you want aerial overhead, we check the venue's rigging. If not, we bring a freestanding rig.
Frequently asked questions
Which venues near Harlow can host a large event?
On our list, The City Pavilion (up to 1200 guests) and Manor of Grove Hotel (up to 400 guests) can take 400 or more guests. Tell us your venue and numbers and we will plan circus themed entertainment around the space.
Do venues around Harlow 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 themed entertainment cost in Harlow?
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 Harlow is 22 miles north-east of central London. Send us your date and venue for free, no-obligation options.
Which postcodes around Harlow do you cover?
All of CM5, CM17, CM18, CM19, CM20, CM21 and CM92, including Epping Forest, Chipping Ongar, Shelley, Fyfield, Moreton and Roydon, plus the rest of Essex and nearby Epping, Bishops Stortford, Loughton and Hertford.
Do aerial acts need rigging points?
Not always. Freestanding aerial rigs work in most venues with enough height. If your venue has rated rigging points we can use those instead.
Can the circus theme work indoors?
Yes. Everything except fire works indoors with enough space. Fire is planned for outdoor areas and with the venue's approval.
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?
Tell us about your event and we'll come back with options.
