Audience Feedback
Our PTA has booked Happy’s Circus three times and we’ve always been delighted with their service. The booking process was very straightforward: the office staff were always ready to answer our questions and help us to tailor the event to our individual needs. Communication from Happy’s was excellent, with regular emails from the fundraising team. They provide us with a brilliant information service with everything you need to know to put on the event, including ideas for fundraising, marketing, site layout, brochures, and so much more.
The focus is definitely on helping schools make their event a fundraising success.
On the day, the circus arrived and set up quickly and efficiently, leaving the members of the PTA to concentrate on food and fundraising stalls.
The circus staff were professional and courteous throughout, and got on with the set-up quickly and efficiently.
The show itself is always incredibly impressive – The Happy’s Circus team are true professionals, and everyone was amazed by the expertise of the performers. The show is genuinely entertaining for both children and adults.
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Happy’s Circus to other schools.

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,

Thank you very much for the most wonderful experience. We had a super day and that was down to the professionalism of all your staff both on site and in the offices. All the organising on your part was fantastic and for us as a Parents’ Association we had a very relaxed event. It was great to see the enjoyment in all the children, adults and grandparents faces whilst enjoying the event with my own family.
Thanks again. Great to work with you.

I would just like to say a massive thank you for yesterday! The circus was amazing and so much more than we expected.The whole evening was perfect, the atmosphere was amazing and the circus is still the main topic of conversation for parents and children, who have told us it’s the best thing they have ever attended and that the school have held.When we booked you 18 moths ago we were all very nervous about how it would work and if we could make it successful, with a lot of hard work and a good team with us and the support for you, it was a huge success. You have all been so helpful, friendly, and given great advice, The team were great in giving us ideas for setting out our stalls to work together.We are not a massive school but with the support from you, and local businesses we estimate we have raise approx £5000 which is phenomenal. We will be booking you again!!

“We are so immensely happy with our experience with Happy’s Circus. My contact Rebecca could not have been more helpful, with updates along the way, useful materials to boost interest in ticket sales and always happy to answer any questions we had.
The circus were so professional on arrival and set up, getting the excitement going with the big top being up for our fete beforehand.
Thanks to the Circus, programme, sponsorship and fete we raised over £7300 in profit!
Everyone was amazed at the acts and how they could perform such a great show in the school field! The children loved Mr Slinky, giggled and screamed at Steve the clown and ring mistress Pippa’s antics and everyone was in awe of the acrobatic acts.
The day couldn’t have gone any better!”

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 love having Happy Circus at our school, and they’ve been a huge help with our fundraising over the years.
The whole team, especially Catrina and Rebecca in the office, are great at keeping things organised and keeping us on track before the event.
On the day, the Circus team delivered beyond expectations – Echo the Clown was amazing and really got everyone involved.
The feedback we’ve received about the show has been fantastic.We can’t recommend them highly enough.
Best wishes,

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,

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
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!!
