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
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 Reading can hold a large Asian wedding?
On our list, Easthampstead Park Hotel (up to 480 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 Reading 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 Reading do you cover?
All of RG1, RG2, RG4, RG5, RG6, RG7, RG30 and RG31, including Burghfield Common, Spencers Wood, Theale, Mortimer, Wokingham and Shinfield, plus the rest of Berkshire and nearby Henley-on-Thames, Wokingham, Goring and Bracknell.
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?
