What is a circus theme?
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
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 much does a circus line-up cost?
There is no fixed price. Every event is different. Prices depend on availability, your exact requirements, time on site and location, so we quote each booking individually. Send us your date, venue and guest numbers for free, no-obligation options.
