Audience Feedback

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!

Dear Shaun and Circus Team

I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for all the fun and laughter you offered my Westfield children, families and the local Berkhamsted community this weekend. This was the first fundraising event we have had since the pandemic – what a wonderful way to begin to ‘ live through Covid ‘ by being entertained by you all.

It was so refreshing to see the children laughing , smiling and having a good time and this being extend to their parents, grandparents , aunts , uncles, and friends.

I look forward to arranging for you all to return in the future.

Thank you all

“The absolute biggest thanks to you and your team Rebecca!
What a phenomenal day was had by all. Genuinely never had a better response from an event we have put on at school! Absolutely fantastic.

We were blown away by the circus! The team were incredible both on and off the stage and an absolute pleasure to deal with! So personable and lovely and the show was genuinely amazing! What a talented bunch you have!

Was buzzing that we sold out too.

A real highlight was when I was approaching the tent and the children’s cheers erupted. To see so many families come together was phenomenal.

What an incredible event. Thank you guys for everything, we shall definitely be using you again and recommending to others”

“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!

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

Headteacher – St Andrews Primary School

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

From the first contact to the actual event, we found the staff at Happy’s Circus thoroughly professional and very efficient. Most importantly we made a fantastic profit. We have no problem trusting the company on school property. 100% satisfaction. Thank you. I’d be happy to talk to anyone considering holding an event.

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
