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
How big are the wedding venues around Stroud?
The venues on our list near Stroud hold up to 250 guests, with Manor By The Lake the largest. For bigger weddings, families often look further across Gloucestershire. We cover them all.
Do venues around Stroud 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 Stroud do you cover?
All of GL5, GL6, GL10 and GL11, including Brimscombe, Woodchester, Far Thrupp, Nailsworth, Chalford and Painswick, plus the rest of Gloucestershire and nearby Gloucester, Malmesbury, Cheltenham and Cirencester.
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.
