I am writing on behalf of the Friends of Anlaby Primary who invited Happy’s Circus to visit our school on the 25th of June.

The circus team were incredible, from start to finish. From initial discussion right up to them arriving we had all the information we needed. They talked us through everything, sent over risk assessments and gave us ideas for pricing and marketing too.

When the team arrived they were friendly and professional, they were set up on the school site and to help the children get excited they invited each of the classes in to have a look around the tent and meet the crew. The kids had an amazing time and feedback from the headmaster was very positive.
For the event, we had two smaller one hour events rather than their usual 2hr event to make up for the restricted numbers.

The tent set up was great. The circus team seated everyone safely and efficiently. Everyone was super friendly and professional. The shows were unreal. Both different and both had each crowd totally amazed, engaged and howling with laughter! Thoroughly entertaining.

We’ve had so much feedback from parents and children to say it’s the best night they’ve had in a very very long time. Parents loved it just as much as the kids.

Once inside the tent it truly was like being somewhere else with the lights and sound effects.

Honestly it couldn’t have gone better. When the team left, they did so conscientiously, with no rubbish or mess left behind. They also spent some time supporting our local businesses too!

We can’t wait to get the team back, neither can the families who saw them.

Thank you so much Happy’s Circus for giving our community a truly unforgettable experience.

Kind Regards

We have been blown away by the professionalism and dedication of the Happy’s Circus team.

Our wet field, and residential position by no means made the Circus installation an easy one, and we can’t express how grateful we are that Shaun and the team made it all happen regardless.

Set up challenges aside, the main event went beyond our expectations. Larger than life acts, brilliant use of music and humour all got everyone watching completely engaged.

The smiles of the kids said it all, and the feedback we’ve received from the parents has been fantastic.

We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Happy’s to other schools.

Best Regards

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,

I would just like to say a big thank you to you and your team for putting on such a genuinely happy and spectacular event at our school last week.

There was a buzz in the air all day with the children being so excited to see a Big Top appear on the field in the morning and being allowed to look inside was a real treat.

We have a fantastic PTA team at St. Andrew’s and we are very grateful to them for organising the event together with you and your team.

Observing all COVID restrictions worked really well and it was great to have your colleagues on hand to make sure that people followed procedures correctly.

The show was magnificent and perfectly pitched to the audience of mixed age groups and there was great excitement the next day in school with children talking about their favourite acts and spectacles.

Please thank your team on our behalf, it was a genuine delight to see so many happy faces walking home at the end of the evening.

With best wishes

On 17 August, we were pleased to welcome back for the second time, Happy’s Circus. The setup was seamless, exactly as was planned, and the Big Top and its surroundings looked very attractive.

Our families that attended had a wonderful time and there were smiles all around as they left. It is hard to say what the highlights were because there were so many with something for everyone from the very funny routines to the incredible aerial work.

The timing was perfect not too long and value for money. The Circus left this morning and amazingly, the school field today looks like no one has been there!

Thank you, Happy’s Circus!

“Working with Happy’s Circus has been an absolute pleasure from beginning to end. The whole team, led by Shaun and Pippa, were professional, efficient, and a joy to have on site — everything ran like clockwork. Emma in the office was outstanding; her clear guidance and encouragement meant we always felt supported and never overwhelmed.

What really sets Happy’s Circus apart is how thorough and thoughtful the process is. The pre-event communications gave us a clear roadmap, with reminders, tips, and practical fundraising ideas that made it easy to stay organised. From planning to setup on the day, nothing was left to chance — every detail was considered, which took the pressure off our PTA and allowed us to simply enjoy the experience.

The event itself exceeded all expectations. The Big Top created a magical atmosphere and the performances were fantastic — children and adults alike were mesmerised, laughing and cheering throughout. Families are still talking about what a memorable weekend it was, and the sense of community spirit it created was priceless.

Importantly, it was also a huge financial success for our PTA, giving us the resources to invest back into the school. Yet it never felt like just a fundraiser — it felt like a true celebration that brought everyone together.

We cannot recommend Happy’s Circus highly enough. They combine professionalism and organisation with warmth and fun, and they delivered an unforgettable event that our community will be talking about for years to come.”

“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!”

“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.”

I just wanted to put in writing how brilliant the circus was and how much it was enjoyed by the whole audience. We managed to sell all 600 tickets and although the purpose of the circus was not specifically as a fundraiser but as a birthday celebration for the school. We managed to raise around £2,500 overall.

Thank you so much for all your help.

Massive thank you to Ross, Pop and the Happy’s Circus team on Sunday.

The Circus show was absolutely amazing – the right balance of acts and comedy. So much crammed into the performances – Ross and Pip were very funny and got funnier during the show. Our kids absolutely loved it!!

So many fantastic and positive comments from parents afterwards as well as the school so a big well done and thank you again.

I suspect that the HSA/School would love to have you back in the future.
