“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 50th 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 like to take this opportunity to say that we all thoroughly enjoyed the performance and have received many positive comments from parents / guests who attended in the evening. I was very impressed with the organisation of the event on the day and please pass on my thanks to all involved.

Good Morning,
We just wanted to say a huge thank you to the whole team for putting on such a great show on Friday at Milldown CE Academy in Blandford.
Everyone was so helpful and professional and the kids had an absolutely fantastic time. It was really magical to see so many children laughing and screaming in delight!
We would absolutely recommend Happy’s Circus to any school.
Thanks again,

“Hello Emma
I just wanted to drop you a note with regards to our Circus event on 21st July.
The support we had from initial booking to event day was fabulous! As we had never had the Circus or an event on this scale at our school, it was so good to know we could ask any questions and call on you when needed. The information packs you sent us were also really useful. On the day, Shaun and his team were great, we really felt like we were in safe hands and as a result, our event was a huge success.
We have raised approx. £3k from our event which will go a long way in refurbishing our library.
We are keen to book again for 2028!
Thank you, Clare”

I enquired about having your circus come to Scampton C of E School back last year and due to internal changes, we didn’t think we would be able to book you but by a miracle, we found a date and all systems were go!!!……Your information was absolutely amazing. All the information is really detailed to help you plan the event and the office team then follow up with phone calls and chats. There was never anything too hard to sort out as you had answers to even the silliest questions.
So, we started selling tickets online and sales started and our planning remained on track. The day arrived and a busy day it was…… the Advance team arrived nice and early without too much trouble and entered the school grounds. The children were so excited even at 9am, so learning on Circus Day was going to be hit and miss. The rest of the team followed and proceeded to do their thing. Pippa held a briefing with our team and we all went about our tasks for the day.
We had a special surprise for the Circus as the infants put on a play for Pippa, Shaun, and the rest of the guys as well as a local TV team that came to interview the Circus team and later broadcast the interview!
Then the time came to open the gates…… The school filled up and there was an excited buzz of happy laughter which was such a dream to hear.
The show started and sadly ended, and the feedback was just amazing. The memories people had made and taken from your team will be treasured forever.
I would 1000% recommend your circus to anyone thinking of booking one.
We are only a very small school (54 pupils) so if we can achieve what we did then anyone can.
Thank you to each – and – every person involved in Happy’s Circus……. It was a blast!!

“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!”

We enjoyed the circus a lot! It was really incredible to watch the talented performers.
The staff was so professional in setting up and leaving the event. We have had a lot of positive feedback from children and parents alike and it was clear to see on the day, that everyone had a lot of fun. We made over £2000 in profit and cannot wait to have you back again!

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

I just wanted to email to pass on our thanks and to say how much of a success our event was. From the minute we booked Happy Circus we were thrilled with the level of service we received in support to get our event off the ground and also along the way.
On the day we were given clear instructions on when arrival would be and throughout the day the information we were provided with about set up and what we needed to do was fantastic.
The event itself was an even bigger success and had a real community feel to it. As well as raising £3,000 for the school, staff and families had a wonderful evening and everyone commented on how well organised it was and it being such a great event.
We have already booked again for 2024 and cannot wait.
Many Thanks again

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
