“The absolute biggest thanks to you and your team Rebecca!
What a phenomenal day was had by all. Genuinely never had a better response from an event we have put on at school! Absolutely fantastic.

We were blown away by the circus! The team were incredible both on and off the stage and an absolute pleasure to deal with! So personable and lovely and the show was genuinely amazing! What a talented bunch you have!

Was buzzing that we sold out too.

A real highlight was when I was approaching the tent and the children’s cheers erupted. To see so many families come together was phenomenal.

What an incredible event. Thank you guys for everything, we shall definitely be using you again and recommending to others”

“I wanted to say what a fantastic evening we had at the circus last night!

Shaun and the rest of the crew were brilliant form start to finish.

We have had so many parents come up to us to thank us for arranging the show and judging by the squealing and laughing, everyone had a great time. There were lots of happy faces at the end of the night and I believe ‘Mr Slinky’ was a firm favourite.

Please pass on my thanks to the team and hope they have a safe onwards journey.”

Wow what can I say! We sold out 600 tickets to our wonderful parents in just under a month and everyone I have spoken to about yesterdays show have told me how much they and their families enjoyed it!
We had all ages from young to old and everyone left the Big Top with a smile on their face despite the typically British weather! ☔️

From the time we booked up to 15 minutes before the show we were kept up to date with progress and Catrina and her team were on hand to discuss tickets sales and any other queries we had. Shaun and Pippa were great and every single performer was amazing. My own children loved every minute, even the moody teenager and my 5 year old who never usually sits still was glued to her seat for the shows entirety! We very sadly lost a treasured teacher due to illness just 2 days before the show so the show was dedicated to her which was a lovely gesture.

We look forward to having Happy’s Circus back in 2026 and can recommend them to everyone – you will not be disappointed!

We also thought the event was very successful too. We have sent out a survey to those who attended to obtain feedback for future events.

We were very impressed with Happy’s Circus, the show was fantastic, and the kids loved it. The planning and organisation were thorough, and the team were fantastic at communication and support with how we can market the event.

I just wanted to email to pass on our thanks and to say how much of a success our event was. From the minute we booked Happy Circus we were thrilled with the level of service we received in support to get our event off the ground and also along the way.

On the day we were given clear instructions on when arrival would be and throughout the day the information we were provided with about set up and what we needed to do was fantastic.

The event itself was an even bigger success and had a real community feel to it. As well as raising £3,000 for the school, staff and families had a wonderful evening and everyone commented on how well organised it was and it being such a great event.

We have already booked again for 2024 and cannot wait.

Many Thanks again

Hi Rebecca

We first made contact just before Christmas and 7 months later we hosted an amazing end-of-school-year celebration! Our school uses the Basingstoke and North Hants Cricket Club as our sports field and this is where we hosted Happy’s Circus.

The event was a great success, the kids absolutely loved it and we had lots of positive feedback. It was the perfect end to the school year. We combined it with the school summer fair so the children came after school on the last day to the playing field and had fun with the stalls and activities as part of the fair before going to the circus.

We wanted the day to not just be about fundraising and we certainly created a day full of fun and memories.

The pre-event support was super useful in keeping us on track and helping us do what needed to be done in a timely manner. I didn’t see the show myself but my kids tell me the clowns and acrobats were especially entertaining.

Thank you for helping us make this happen, We sold 595 tickets and raised £2960!

Kind Regards

I would just like to say a big thank you to you and your team for putting on such a genuinely happy and spectacular event at our school last week.

There was a buzz in the air all day with the children being so excited to see a Big Top appear on the field in the morning and being allowed to look inside was a real treat.

We have a fantastic PTA team at St. Andrew’s and we are very grateful to them for organising the event together with you and your team.

Observing all COVID restrictions worked really well and it was great to have your colleagues on hand to make sure that people followed procedures correctly.

The show was magnificent and perfectly pitched to the audience of mixed age groups and there was great excitement the next day in school with children talking about their favourite acts and spectacles.

Please thank your team on our behalf, it was a genuine delight to see so many happy faces walking home at the end of the evening.

With best wishes

Thank you to the Happy’s Circus team again, for bringing so much joy to the children of Parish School.

We have been doing events with Happy’s Circus for quite a few years now and cannot recommend them enough. They are a specialised team who perform to schools Nationwide and working with them time after time has been seamless. From the office team to the performers, they are a very special bunch who really work very hard.

I’m always so delighted to have you here with us and our children cannot wait for you to return in 2026.

Wishing you lots of luck for the rest of the year! See you all very soon.

Thank you very much for the most wonderful experience. We had a super day and that was down to the professionalism of all your staff both on site and in the offices. All the organising on your part was fantastic and for us as a Parents’ Association we had a very relaxed event.
It was great to see the enjoyment in all the children, adults and grandparents faces whilst enjoying the event with my own family.

Thanks again. Great to work with you.

“We are so immensely happy with our experience with Happy’s Circus. My contact Rebecca could not have been more helpful, with updates along the way, useful materials to boost interest in ticket sales and always happy to answer any questions we had.

The circus were so professional on arrival and set up, getting the excitement going with the big top being up for our fete beforehand.

Thanks to the Circus, programme, sponsorship and fete we raised over £7300 in profit!

Everyone was amazed at the acts and how they could perform such a great show in the school field! The children loved Mr Slinky, giggled and screamed at Steve the clown and ring mistress Pippa’s antics and everyone was in awe of the acrobatic acts.

The day couldn’t have gone any better!”
