Hi Happy’s Circus

I wanted to thank you all at Happy’s Circus for a fabulous show on Sunday!

The families at MMK School had the most fantastic afternoon celebrating the school’s 60th Anniversary. The children were mesmerised by all of the talented performers and especially loved meeting Bobbo the clown. Miss Pippa was an excellent ringmaster and we thank her especially for making it so special.

The whole experience was incredibly professional and well organised and (apart from the weather!) it all went to plan, exceeding all of our expectations.I thought I’d share some of the lovely feedback we received from teachers and families:

“What an amazing afternoon. It was beyond slick, so well thought out and so much fun!!!!”

“Thanks so much for organising the circus today. It was absolutely fantastic. My family really enjoyed it and so did I.”

“It was lovely to see so many MMK staff and children with their families having such a great time”

Thank you once again for helping us to create a wonderful memory for the children and we’ll definitely be recommending Happy’s Circus to other schools.

Best wishes

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!

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,

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.

Excellent circus, kids loved it

The ladies in the air were brilliant

“I wanted to say what a fantastic evening we had at the circus last night!

Shaun and the rest of the crew were brilliant form start to finish.

We have had so many parents come up to us to thank us for arranging the show and judging by the squealing and laughing, everyone had a great time. There were lots of happy faces at the end of the night and I believe ‘Mr Slinky’ was a firm favourite.

Please pass on my thanks to the team and hope they have a safe onwards journey.”

“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 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

We made an enquiry regarding Happy’s Circus availability on 8th June and just over 10 weeks later the Circus arrived for our council-run Family Fun Day.

The pre-event support calls were really excellent and we cannot fault anything in terms of the support, although we did have a last- minute mix-up on the date, but it was solved literally overnight. We were very impressed with the professional build and de-rigging process. It was very smooth.

The only negative feedback was that we needed more help with seating people before the performance began and encouraging people to go back to their original seats after the interval. (You have said that you will take this on board and will find out what happened as normally this doesn’t happen).

We sold 598 tickets, achieving a total income of £6480. After the expenses of hiring the circus, toilets, bins, and first aid, we made a good total profit of £2458.51 from just 10 weeks of planning including the booking process.The best overall result was the really positive online feedback from families who thoroughly enjoyed their Brackley Town Council Family Fun Day.

We will definitely invite Happy’s Circus back in the future and look forward to the next brand-new show!

I just wanted to say thank you so much for an amazing event. We had such an amazing time – the team were fantastic and really helpful on the day.

We were unsure what to expect and I can safely say every person I spoke to said the circus show exceeded their expectations.

What an amazing team you have – everyone we have dealt with really wanted our event to be a success which made the whole experience enjoyable.

We worked together as a team to create an event which raised around £4000 profit enabling us to agree to a brand new Trim Trail for the school.

I would also like to personally thank Leeanne for all her hard work on the three year period (thanks Covid) of organising this event – she was such a help and really wanted us to succeed even when I had given up!! Please pass on my thanks to everyone involved!

Co-chair of Friends of Diggle School

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
