Many thanks for joining us at Henry Hinde on the 23rd of June.
We thoroughly enjoyed the whole event, especially once the sales peaked in the last week. We would love to thank the whole amazing Happy’s Circus team.
Professional, organised, helpful, enthusiastic, supportive, and above all Happy right from the early planning stages through to the performance on the day and even early hours of Saturday morning, leaving a clean site and with a cheerful wave, off to their next venue.
What can we say, we really loved having you and would not hesitate in recommending you to other schools.
Who knows we may see you again at Henry Hinde in the future.

We thoroughly enjoy our circus visit – it is a highlight of the PTA calendar and a great fundraiser.
The team is hugely talented, professional, and put on a fabulous show. The office staff are super helpful and supportive.
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.

Our PTA has booked Happy’s Circus three times and we’ve always been delighted with their service. The booking process was very straightforward: the office staff were always ready to answer our questions and help us to tailor the event to our individual needs. Communication from Happy’s was excellent, with regular emails from the fundraising team. They provide us with a brilliant information service with everything you need to know to put on the event, including ideas for fundraising, marketing, site layout, brochures, and so much more.
The focus is definitely on helping schools make their event a fundraising success.
On the day, the circus arrived and set up quickly and efficiently, leaving the members of the PTA to concentrate on food and fundraising stalls.
The circus staff were professional and courteous throughout, and got on with the set-up quickly and efficiently.
The show itself is always incredibly impressive – The Happy’s Circus team are true professionals, and everyone was amazed by the expertise of the performers. The show is genuinely entertaining for both children and adults.
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Happy’s Circus to other schools.

“Hello Emma
I just wanted to drop you a note with regards to our Circus event on 21st July.
The support we had from initial booking to event day was fabulous! As we had never had the Circus or an event on this scale at our school, it was so good to know we could ask any questions and call on you when needed. The information packs you sent us were also really useful. On the day, Shaun and his team were great, we really felt like we were in safe hands and as a result, our event was a huge success.
We have raised approx. £3k from our event which will go a long way in refurbishing our library.
We are keen to book again for 2028!
Thank you, Clare”

I enquired about having your circus come to Scampton C of E School back last year and due to internal changes, we didn’t think we would be able to book you but by a miracle, we found a date and all systems were go!!!……Your information was absolutely amazing. All the information is really detailed to help you plan the event and the office team then follow up with phone calls and chats. There was never anything too hard to sort out as you had answers to even the silliest questions.
So, we started selling tickets online and sales started and our planning remained on track. The day arrived and a busy day it was…… the Advance team arrived nice and early without too much trouble and entered the school grounds. The children were so excited even at 9am, so learning on Circus Day was going to be hit and miss. The rest of the team followed and proceeded to do their thing. Pippa held a briefing with our team and we all went about our tasks for the day.
We had a special surprise for the Circus as the infants put on a play for Pippa, Shaun, and the rest of the guys as well as a local TV team that came to interview the Circus team and later broadcast the interview!
Then the time came to open the gates…… The school filled up and there was an excited buzz of happy laughter which was such a dream to hear.
The show started and sadly ended, and the feedback was just amazing. The memories people had made and taken from your team will be treasured forever.
I would 1000% recommend your circus to anyone thinking of booking one.
We are only a very small school (54 pupils) so if we can achieve what we did then anyone can.
Thank you to each – and – every person involved in Happy’s Circus……. It was a blast!!

The whole team were fantastic, professional, always positive and very helpful. Nothing was too much trouble including a last minute venue change. Thank you. We all enjoyed the show and there were lots of happy children.

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

“Emma provided so much support and check-ins prior to the event. The pre-event call a few days before was particularly useful as we were able to run through key logistics of the day. Shaun and the circus team were also great – communication was really clear, and we enjoyed working with them. It also seemed that many members of the circus team enjoyed joining in the Summer Solstice Party too! It created such a lovely vibe and atmosphere.
Our profit for the Friends of Wray Common, including the Summer Solstice Party, was just shy of £4000! This is an excellent amount. We sold circus tickets in family bundles and individual sales. The Family Bundles proved particularly popular, as did the early bird sale.
All the performances were excellent. Good choice of music to go with them, which appealed to the children – keeping it contemporary is important in that regard! The ring mistress and Steve the Clown were also great, but probably appealed to the younger members of the audience. The audience participation with the Bluetooth speakers, the singing, and the Super Soakers was fun!
We look forward to having Happy’s Circus return to Wray Common School“

“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.”
