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!

“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”

Hi Ben, and all the other coordinators at Happy’s Circus,

I just wanted to say a big thank you for all your help on the run up to the circus, nothing was too much trouble and you were all more than helpful!

Our circus was a huge success despite being done slightly differently to how its usually done in terms of tickets sales and the feedback has been amazing!

So can you pass a huge thank you to all the office staff as I appreciate this side of the company doesn’t always get the recognition it deserves!!

We will be looking to do another circus next year in July probably so if you could let me know what days you have available

Many thanks

“Happy’s Circus visited our school for the second time on Wednesday, after first visiting us three years ago and WOW, what an unforgettable event! The feedback from parents has been absolutely incredible, and everyone is still buzzing with excitement!

From the moment the Big Top started going up, there was such a magical atmosphere around school. Watching the set-up and pack-up was amazing in itself, and the entire Happy’s Circus team were fantastic throughout. Nothing was too much trouble, every question was answered, and they made the whole experience feel so special from start to finish.

A huge special mention has to go to Rebecca, who has been absolutely brilliant from the moment we booked. I genuinely feel like I know her personally after all our conversations! She was supportive, responsive, helpful and reassuring every step of the way. The promotional materials, communication and support provided made organising such a huge event feel so much easier.

Not only did the children and families have the most amazing evening, but as a PTFA, we are absolutely thrilled to have raised over £4,000 in profit for our school community!

The children are already asking when Happy’s Circus can come back again… and honestly, so are we!

Thank you so much, Happy’s Circus, for bringing so much joy, laughter and magic to our school community”

I just wanted to put in writing how brilliant the circus was and how much it was enjoyed by the whole audience. We managed to sell all 600 tickets and although the purpose of the circus was not specifically as a fundraiser but as a birthday celebration for the school. We managed to raise around £2,500 overall.

Thank you so much for all your help.

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 ‘thank you’ for an amazing two days at Loose Primary School. It has been a hugely successful event with everyone buzzing from it all. You guys in the office have been a dream to work with and we really appreciate how you worked with us and met our school’s demands. Pip and Ross and the rest of Red Team were amazing. A pleasure to work with, helpful and respectful of our school and gave the children and families a simply wonderful experience.

Thank you all.

We had our circus on a beautiful day in May, the sun shone and the children had a wonderful time! It is very age appropriate, funny, daring and thrilling mixed into one show.

We are a small primary school with 210 pupils but sold out at the circus, raising £4.5k for our school funds, which is a record breaking event.

A huge thank you to all the team at Happy’s, we would highly recommend.

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!!
