Audience Feedback
Good Morning,We have had an overwhelming number of parents thank us for such a fantastic event.
It was so lovely to see the children enjoying it (and adults too!).You were all so professional and we are very grateful that you performed 2 shows over two days rather than the one we originally booked.
We were in tears seeing how happy the children were during your show for two nights. You have the pleasure of seeing this happiness every night and we are extremely envious.We will ensure payment is made within the next few days.
Wishing you all the best and I am sure this won’t be the last time Happy’s Circus comes to Hook.
Kindest regards
Catherine Harwood & Richard Paganuzzi

What can we say, except… wow, wow, wow!
Happy’s Circus came to HTL Primary school in Sidcup yesterday, and what an amazing day it was!
From start to finish, the communication with the Happy’s Circus team was extremely detailed from the date of booking- up until the day itself, with regular updates, information, ticket selling advice, classroom games and activities to rouse excitement amongst the children, videos to watch in assembly, and around the clock support in running the event.Yesterday, the wonderful Pippa and Shaun arrived with the Circus convoy in procession, and what an exciting sight it was!
The hardworking staff set up the Big Top in a staggeringly fast time, and the guys and girls worked as a safe, seamless and very strong team! It was hugely impressive!When the gates opened for the event to begin, the children were ecstatic at the sight before them on their school field! The circus staff proceeded to delight children outside the Big Top, and the smell of popcorn and candy-floss filled the air.Then it was show time!All of the performers were out of this world! Exceptionally talented, thrilling to watch, funny, and kept us spellbound throughout the entire show- Pippa, the wonderful ringmaster, kept the audience clapping and cheering and engaged, and the lovely clown had us laughing throughout! The aerial acts were breathtaking and mesmerising.When the show sadly came to an end, again the Big Top was safely dismantled in an almost unbelievable speed and the precision of a well oiled machine- the staff worked hard in the heat together, and after no time at all the field was cleared away.Overnight the staff stayed on our school field and left the site immaculately clean and tidy- Like they’d never been there at all!If you are unsure as to whether to book in Happy’s for your next PTA event, don’t be!
You will not regret doing so. It is a wonderful PTA profit maker, especially if you read and listen to all of Happy’s invaluable advice and assistance, which really helps make your event stress free. We raised £5200 profit after the Event Fee had been paid.The staff are genuinely the most lovely, polite and hardworking team, and it was a pleasure to have them visit our school. From the management, the acts, those working behind the scenes and the lovely drivers and builders!
We can’t wait to book them again.Thank you Pippa, Shaun and the whole team at Happy’s Circus!
We hope you have a well earned rest after such a busy weekend.
With thanks,
Laura Blanchard

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 made an enquiry regarding Happy’s Circus availability on 8th June and just over 10 weeks later the Circus arrived for our council-run Family Fun Day.
The pre-event support calls were really excellent and we cannot fault anything in terms of the support, although we did have a last- minute mix-up on the date, but it was solved literally overnight. We were very impressed with the professional build and de-rigging process. It was very smooth.
The only negative feedback was that we needed more help with seating people before the performance began and encouraging people to go back to their original seats after the interval. (You have said that you will take this on board and will find out what happened as normally this doesn’t happen).
We sold 598 tickets, achieving a total income of £6480. After the expenses of hiring the circus, toilets, bins, and first aid, we made a good total profit of £2458.51 from just 10 weeks of planning including the booking process.The best overall result was the really positive online feedback from families who thoroughly enjoyed their Brackley Town Council Family Fun Day.
We will definitely invite Happy’s Circus back in the future and look forward to the next brand-new show!

We enjoyed the circus a lot! It was really incredible to watch the talented performers.
The staff was so professional in setting up and leaving the event. We have had a lot of positive feedback from children and parents alike and it was clear to see on the day, that everyone had a lot of fun. We made over £2000 in profit and cannot wait to have you back again!

“We had an absolutely fantastic experience working with Happy’s Circus. From start to finish, the team were professional, friendly and incredibly well-organised. The pre-event communication was excellent, with helpful emails and calls that made the planning process smooth and stress-free.
On the day itself, Shaun and the team were brilliant. They arrived and departed exactly as scheduled, and the set-up and dismantling of the Big Top was carried out with military-style precision — it was genuinely impressive to watch! Despite their busy schedule, Shaun kindly took the time to hold some impromptu Q&A sessions with our children, which created so much extra excitement around the event and meant a great deal to us as a school.
The show itself was fantastic — all the performers were excellent, and it was a real treat to see such a talented, high-energy cast entertain families of all ages. The children especially loved getting sprayed with water at the end — a brilliant moment that had everyone laughing! It was a true family event and created memories we’ll be talking about for a long time.
Thanks to the evening’s success, we were able to raise over £2,500 profit for our school — especially pleasing given our short selling window and limited stalls (just food, drinks and a raffle).
We’d definitely look to welcome Happy’s Circus back again in the future and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to other schools and organisations looking for a fun, professional and memorable event.
A huge thank you to Shaun, Pippa, Rebecca and the whole team for making it such a wonderful experience!”

A thoroughly enjoyable interactive event for all ages across the primary school; parents and staff enjoyed too!
The pupils experienced the exciting atmosphere of the Big Top and were treated to a quality show complete with costumes, lighting and sound, from highly skilled performers and acrobats.
Safeguarding protocols and Health and Safety are held in high regard for this very professional company.
They provide schools with a host of certificates, risk assessments and relevant documentation in these areas.
There is a ‘moral’ theme running through the show which is a positive one in that we should all feel good about ourselves and respect others, treating them as we wish to be treated ourselves.
The event raised much needed funds for the school also! Happy Circus, Happy Audience!

We had our circus on a beautiful day in May, the sun shone and the children had a wonderful time! It is very age appropriate, funny, daring and thrilling mixed into one show.
We are a small primary school with 210 pupils but sold out at the circus, raising £4.5k for our school funds, which is a record breaking event.
A huge thank you to all the team at Happy’s, we would highly recommend.

Just a quick note to say thank you for a wonderful event last Monday. Everything was perfect – your guys were extremely helpful, the show was incredible and lots of fun was had despite the torrential rain.
I appreciate their no fuss attitude and attention to detail.
I’m already looking for an excuse to have you back!
Divine Saviour School
The circus was amazing and we raised lots of money with the tickets and stalls. Your team were great too!
Thanks for all your support and hopefully we will be arranging another visit to school in the future.
Henry’s doing well – lots of physio ahead but all worthwhile.
Thank you once again for a superb fundraising event.
I would certainly give you my highest recommendation
Best wishes
