Audience Feedback
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,
Matt Fletcher
Executive Head Teacher
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

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,

Just wanted to say a massive thank you again for yesterday everyone had such a brilliant time and all I am hearing today is people talking about it. Yourselves and the team yesterday have been brilliant from day one helping so I personally can’t thank you enough. Even my son who has been there with me all weekend setting up said please can you send them a message mom to say how good it was.
So much so that I am looking to book again, it is our 85th year as a school in 2023 and was looking at booking yourselves on Saturday 15th July 2023, is this possible? As it is such a big event for the school I would like it to be much bigger than yesterday and as well as yourselves get a lot more people involved with more stalls etc.
How do I go about booking this please?
Thanks

“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 say thank you so much for an amazing event. We had such an amazing time – the team were fantastic and really helpful on the day.
We were unsure what to expect and I can safely say every person I spoke to said the circus show exceeded their expectations.
What an amazing team you have – everyone we have dealt with really wanted our event to be a success which made the whole experience enjoyable.
We worked together as a team to create an event which raised around £4000 profit enabling us to agree to a brand new Trim Trail for the school.
I would also like to personally thank Leeanne for all her hard work on the three year period (thanks Covid) of organising this event – she was such a help and really wanted us to succeed even when I had given up!! Please pass on my thanks to everyone involved!

“Happy Circus is an amazing experience for any school! The organisation is excellent and we were able to put on an amazing event for the family, which was hassle free and superb quality. The Happy Circus team are wonderful and they go above and beyond to ensure the school is kept well informed and the event runs efficiently. From the moment they arrive the Circus coming to school created a buzz, and the children loved seeing the big top go up! The show itself is of high quality and the acts perform amazing stunts which defy belief. The chemistry between Happy and Pip was brilliant and all of the family laughed a lot. If you are worried about having the circus come to your school, then don’t be, it’s hassle free, amazing entertainment and the added bonus is you raise loads of money for the school! ”

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

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
