I just wanted to give you some feedback from our circus on Friday! The whole event went really well. I have had some fantastic feedback from all of our guests. Everyone thought that the show was absolutely brilliant.

From an organisational point of view, you have been an incredible company to work with. From the moment that we booked, right up to the day of the event, the communication and support has been excellent. The team on the day were efficient, polite and left the site in a great condition.

Many thanks to everyone for making it such a great event for us.

Kind regards,

Rachel Baldry

“We can’t thank the team enough – they were absolutely fantastic! From Shaun and his organised logistics, to the team’s swift set-up and dismantling of the Big Top, and Pippa and all the wonderful performers, the whole experience was brilliant.

The support we received throughout was fantastic too. The team run such a slick operation, and having all the information, guidance and support available by email and phone made such a difference when organising the event.

The whole school and village were buzzing afterwards – it was all everyone was talking about! There was a really special moment during the performance when the children were cheering, and it made all the preparation and hard work feel completely worthwhile. I also loved being made to feel part of the wider circus team.

We welcomed almost 500 people and raised £2,650 for the school, which we were absolutely delighted with.

Thank you again to everyone involved for helping us create such a memorable event for our school and community. We couldn’t recommend the experience highly enough”

“I just wanted to write to say a really BIG thank you for making our event on Saturday such a success! Rebecca and the office team did an excellent job of holding my hand through the build-up, calling each month and providing me with top tips and next steps. This was really helpful!

On the day, Shaun, Pippa and their amazing team were incredible. They were so calm and again gave great advice to ensure that the event ran smoothly and everyone enjoyed themselves. The sun shone and families from over Hitchin joined us to mark our 50^th anniversary.

The Big Top was packed with smiling faces and we were so pleased with the comments we received from families as they left.

Thank you for all of your support and guidance and for putting Mary Exton on the map for a day!

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.

What a wonderful way to start our school year!

Our PTA, in collaboration with Happy’s Circus, organised a spectacular circus show for the children and their families to enjoy. From our initial contact with Happy’s Circus all the way through to the Big Top being dismantled in our school field, I cannot fault the organisation and professionalism of this fantastic company; I would highly recommend them without any reservation to anyone looking to provide an exciting event within their school grounds.

Kind regards,

Catherine Forrester

Headteacher, New Scotland Hill Primary School and Nursery

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

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!

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!
