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
Go outdoors for fire
Save the fire show for a terrace, courtyard or garden as the finale.
- 2
Check your ceiling early
If you want aerial overhead, we check the venue's rigging. If not, we bring a freestanding rig.
- 3
Let the ringmaster host
A ringmaster can introduce speeches, awards and each act, so the night flows like a show.
Frequently asked questions
How big are the event venues around Wem?
The venues on our list near Wem hold up to 350 guests, with Hawkestone Hall the largest. For bigger events, organisers often look further across Shropshire. We cover them all.
Do venues around Wem 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 Wem?
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 Wem is 30 miles north-west of Wolverhampton. Send us your date and venue for free, no-obligation options.
Which postcodes around Wem do you cover?
All of SY4, including Baschurch, Bomere Heath, Shawbury and Hadnall, plus the rest of Shropshire and nearby Shrewsbury, Whitchurch, Croesoswallt and Market Drayton.
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.
