  • “ Just to thank you for an AMAZING circus day yesterday. The children and staff had a fantastic time. The enjoyment and buzz around school throughout the day was inspiring. "
  • “ OMG!! What a day!! Kyle, Obby and Neil were absolutely AMAZING.  We all had such a ball and I haven’t laughed that much in ages.  The kids had a brilliant day, every single one of them was smiling.  Your guys were such a friendly bunch and very professional “

  • “ I loved the fact that 'I can't' just wasn't allowed and the grown ups were encouraged to push their own boundaries as an example to the kids- well done! Who knew I could hula!! “

  • “ It was interesting to watch the 'cool' Year 6's drop their guards and throw themselves into the activities with such gusto! “
  • “ One of our younger children came up to me at lunchtime and shouted at me “this is the BEST DAY EVER!!! “
  • “ Not only did they entertain our pupils (and staff) but actively involved them in developing a range of circus skills. The performances and workshops fully supported our creative curriculum making learning fun and exciting “

  • “ They did more than just teach they entertained, inspired and went ‘above and beyond “

  • “ Mr Sensible was fantastic. The children were captivated and found his show amazing and hilarious! “
  • “ Just wanted to say what a FANTASTIC day we have had today. I have never seen so many smiles on the children's faces for the whole day. Every child from our Nursery children to Year 6 (and the adults), have had a brilliant day. We wish we could have had longer!!! “
  • “ It was a shear joy to see the children so engaged and enthusiastic about the event“

  • “ Easy to book and totally reliable, I can't praise them enough! “

  • “ Two amazing gentlemen, 1 amazing day. Thank you “

  • “ Just wanted to say how wonderful The Big Top and all your team were for us on Saturday at Muncaster Castle. All our children and families had an amazing day and absolutely loved the Big Top and everything that went with it. Once again, thank you a million “
  • “ Professional, flexible, funny and extremely talented they engaged children and adults alike “
  • “ No matter what the weather was like, when we were in the tent we were in a whole new place. The three guys that came were absolutely brilliant. It was so well organised and no hassle at all. One child left school saying "that was the best day of my life" “

  • “ Pete was amazing and was so flexible with the day to ensure all of our children managed to get the best of every workshop. Our staff loved it too - we all learnt something new and the children loved the fact that they could something better than us! The workshops inspired our writing for the week and we have had some amazing circus-themed stories “
