Welcome to Happy’s Circus

We would certainly recommend Happy’s Circus for any school considering an exciting and enjoyable event for the whole school community. The performers were of a high quality and the show was perfectly matched to cater to both infant and junior aged children. The company stayed overnight on the school site in their own facilities and were perfect guests! Not only was this an brilliant fundraising event for the PTA to run, the circus brought some much needed fun, laughter and excitement to children and parents alike. Highly recommended!

“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!”

I want to say a huge thank you on behalf of myself, PTA and the school for the amazing evening everyone had last Friday.

The whole evening was perfect, the atmosphere was fantastic and the circus was the source of conversation the following morning in the local hairdressers (so I’m told!)  From the moment I nervously booked you way back whenever, to seeing the team off site on the Saturday morning, the whole process has been wonderful. You have all been so helpful, friendly, and given great advice, especially when the circus team arrived at the school, in giving us ideas for setting out our stalls.

For a fairly small school we did really well with selling more than 80% of our tickets to family members within school. Although we still have final figures to sort out we look to have made around the £3000 mark.

We would love to book you again!!

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.

“We were absolutely delighted to welcome Happy Circus to Stanground Academy, and we cannot thank them enough for the fantastic show they delivered for our students. The performance was vibrant, engaging, and full of energy – a truly magical experience that had everyone smiling from start to finish.
The team brought a wonderful mix of humour, skill, and professionalism, creating a fun and safe environment where students could relax and enjoy a high-quality live performance. It was heartwarming to see the joy and excitement on the faces of our young people, many of whom were experiencing a circus show for the very first time.
It was a great way to end our academic year on Carnival Day, creating memories that will last long after the summer break.
Thank you, Happy’s Circus, for bringing such a memorable and uplifting event to our school. We hope to welcome you back again in the future!”

Wonderful team and a pleasure deal with, thank you!

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

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
