We had such a wonderful experience with Happy’s Circus. From the very first contact, the support was really helpful, timely, supportive, and positive. We managed to sell all 600 tickets in advance, and along with sponsorship from local businesses, a few PTA stalls, and selling pitches to traders we managed to raise over £4000 for our PTA. The team on the day were extremely sleek and professional and were really self-sufficient. That was the one thing we didn’t need to worry about on the day. The show itself was a big hit, from the efficiency of getting guests seated, to the acts themselves, everyone was really impressed. There was a great mix of impressive acrobatics and comedy, and of course the kids screamed with joy at the water guns! We would have the circus back in a blink and now knowing how successful it was, would be able to be much more relaxed at how easy the process was.

Thank you Happy’s Circus and hope to see you again soon!

Happy’s Circus is an extremely professional and wonderful team. They knew what they were doing and got on with it. They’re highly skilled team had that big top tent up in a matter of hours and the performance was just spectacular! Our community and school loved the show and the school children loved watching the tent go up also!

I would highly recommend Happy’s Circus for a PTA/school event, it was a wonderful experience and one that has created memories for not just our children but our adults as well. Happy’s Circus administration team were brilliant also, I had monthly updates/countdowns and regular communication.

Shaun, you should be extremely proud of yourself and your team for the joy and happiness you have brought to the children. Well done and I look forward to seeing you all again soon!

Wow what can I say! We sold out 600 tickets to our wonderful parents in just under a month and everyone I have spoken to about yesterdays show have told me how much they and their families enjoyed it!
We had all ages from young to old and everyone left the Big Top with a smile on their face despite the typically British weather! ☔️

From the time we booked up to 15 minutes before the show we were kept up to date with progress and Catrina and her team were on hand to discuss tickets sales and any other queries we had. Shaun and Pippa were great and every single performer was amazing. My own children loved every minute, even the moody teenager and my 5 year old who never usually sits still was glued to her seat for the shows entirety! We very sadly lost a treasured teacher due to illness just 2 days before the show so the show was dedicated to her which was a lovely gesture.

We look forward to having Happy’s Circus back in 2026 and can recommend them to everyone – you will not be disappointed!

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

From the very first telephone call I felt that booking Happys Circus was going to be great. The efficiency with all the paperwork that was sent, the step-by-step approach allowed us to grow in confidence in putting on an event of this size outside which we had never done before. We received telephone calls a week before and then the day before and, on the day, letting us know what was going to happen, and it all went to plan exactly. The circus team worked extremely hard to help us run in a fun-loving safe way and our families absolutely loved it. The performers did everything possible to embrace everyone. I could have listed lots of comments from the families and these are just a few (below). When the circus left you would not have known they had been here after their stay overnight. We would thoroughly recommend them.

5 year old – I liked the circus especially when the man fell over!

We have had a great day at the circus

The circus was really good and entertaining

The circus have been amazing especially for the younger children as they really involve them and make sure they are all at the front.

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

“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!

Good Morning,We have had an overwhelming number of parents thank us for such a fantastic event.

It was so lovely to see the children enjoying it (and adults too!).You were all so professional and we are very grateful that you performed 2 shows over two days rather than the one we originally booked.

We were in tears seeing how happy the children were during your show for two nights. You have the pleasure of seeing this happiness every night and we are extremely envious.We will ensure payment is made within the next few days.

Wishing you all the best and I am sure this won’t be the last time Happy’s Circus comes to Hook.

Kindest regards
