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.

Where it works best

  • Step 1

    A ringmaster to host and introduce each moment

  • Step 2

    Stilt walkers and walkabout characters as guests arrive

  • Step 3

    An aerial act on a freestanding rig

  • Step 4

    Contortion or a fire show as the finale

Tips from our team

  1. 1

    Let the ringmaster host

    A ringmaster can introduce speeches, awards and each act, so the night flows like a show.

  2. 2

    Go outdoors for fire

    Save the fire show for a terrace, courtyard or garden as the finale.

  3. 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 Derby can hold a large Asian wedding?

On our list, Pride Park – Derby County F.C (up to 1000 guests), East Midlands Conference Centre (up to 1000 guests), The Empire Conference & Banqueting (up to 800 guests) and The Derby Conference Centre (up to 650 guests) can take 400 or more guests. Tell us your venue and numbers and we will plan circus entertainment around the space.

Do venues around Derby have sound limits for dhol or music?

Many hotels and country houses set a sound limit or an end time, and some ask for unplugged dhol indoors. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we will check its rules before we confirm anything.

Which postcodes around Derby do you cover?

All of DE1, DE3, DE21, DE22, DE23, DE24, DE65 and DE73, including Little Eaton, Hilton, Hatton, Etwall, Willington and Repton, plus the rest of Derbyshire and nearby Belper, Ilkeston, Long Eaton and Beeston.

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.

Still have questions?
