Experience the wonder. Share the laughter. Join the family under the Big Top.
Selling early bird tickets removes all of our worries and risk of cost and we find the event really profitable relative to the amount of work it involves for our small Committee. It is also a wonderful community and family event.
We can’t recommend Happy’s Circus highly enough and are already looking forward to our next circus visit.
I just wanted to e-mail you to thank you and your team for the fantastic circus event that took place here at Prestbury St. Mary’s on Saturday. It was a tremendous success and the children and their families all really enjoyed it. I found the whole operation incredibly professional – my Site Manager came down to school this morning to survey the site and found no evidence you had even been here! Amazing!
Thank you so much once again and we look forward to inviting you back here in the future.
With very best wishes,
We have been blown away by the professionalism and dedication of the Happy’s Circus team.
As it became clear that covid restrictions would most likely not be lifted in time for the school to hold a summer fair, we began to look around for an alternative event. One which would enable the School Association to begin to claw back much needed funds lost during the 18 months of lockdown and, more importantly, bring the school community together to enjoy an experience like no other. Well, I can safely say we found it all in Happy’s Circus.
From the initial booking all the way through to the final curtain call, the enquiry team at the end of my phone calls and email correspondences were fantastic. Having never put on such an event before I was more than a little apprehensive. However, I felt supported every step of the way.
To promote ticket sales, we used an online ticket platform which made the whole process far easier to manage, I would recommend this. The circus was mentioned in assemblies and I made a short promotional video with some images of Happy’s Circus which went home to parents as part of the virtual school newsletter. That was all the promotion we needed to sell every single ticket in just 2 weeks.
The day the circus arrived caused much excitement, the children could see the big top out on the school field. With everything set up and in place, the whole school was able to have a short visit to the circus in the afternoon to whet the appetite. The squeals of delight were music to our ears after all that time spent in lockdown seeing children being children with their friends was magic!
We could have had a BBQ or bar to make more money, however, we opted to simply run a tuck shop with some ice creams on the side. Nevertheless, the event still raised well in excess of £3000.00. However, the money raised was not the highlight, the highlight will remain with us (until the next Happy’s Circus event that is). The best bit about Happy’s Circus are the memories left, which will stay with our children for ever. “The day the circus came to our school”. Children old and young, (my teenage daughter became the little girl I remember her to be before hoodies and headphones took over) laughing and oohing in awe. Every single comment from parents since the event has been one of thanks and gratitude. Thank you, Happy’s Circus.
Thank you
“Just to let you know, we raised an amazing £7,572.77 from your visit to us. Obviously we’re delighted, thank you so much for all your help and support along the way – you’ll be pleased to know, I’ve now taken you off speed dial!”
Thank you so much to everyone involved on Saturday – the circus was, as ever, a roaring success. I was actually sorting stuff out during the show itself, so I didn’t manage more than a quick peep inside the tent, but it was enough for me that my husband (not normally known for his outbursts of enthusiasm) came out saying how genuinely impressed he was with the standard of the acts (high praise indeed!), and that my kids were still talking about it at breakfast this morning!
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! ☔️
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.
