Welcome to Happy’s Circus

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

Circus was excellent!!!!!!!

We have had the most incredible time. Thank you for making my childrens summer!

As it became clear that covid restrictions would most likely not be lifted in time for the school to hold a summer fair, we began to look around for an alternative event.  One which would enable the School Association to begin to claw back much needed funds lost during the 18 months of lockdown and, more importantly, bring the school community together to enjoy an experience like no other.  Well, I can safely say we found it all in Happy’s Circus.

From the initial booking all the way through to the final curtain call, the enquiry team at the end of my phone calls and email correspondences were fantastic. Having never put on such an event before I was more than a little apprehensive. However, I felt supported every step of the way.
To promote ticket sales, we used an online ticket platform which made the whole process far easier to manage, I would recommend this.  The circus was mentioned in assemblies and I made a short promotional video with some images of Happy’s Circus which went home to parents as part of the virtual school newsletter. That was all the promotion we needed to sell every single ticket in just 2 weeks.

The day the circus arrived caused much excitement, the children could see the big top out on the school field. With everything set up and in place, the whole school was able to have a short visit to the circus in the afternoon to whet the appetite. The squeals of delight were music to our ears after all that time spent in lockdown seeing children being children with their friends was magic!

We could have had a BBQ or bar to make more money, however, we opted to simply run a tuck shop with some ice creams on the side.  Nevertheless, the event still raised well in excess of £3000.00.  However, the money raised was not the highlight, the highlight will remain with us (until the next Happy’s Circus event that is). The best bit about Happy’s Circus are the memories left, which will stay with our children for ever. “The day the circus came to our school”.  Children old and young, (my teenage daughter became the little girl I remember her to be before hoodies and headphones took over) laughing and oohing in awe.  Every single comment from parents since the event has been one of thanks and gratitude. Thank you, Happy’s Circus.

Thank you

“Just to let you know, we raised an amazing £7,572.77 from your visit to us. Obviously we’re delighted, thank you so much for all your help and support along the way – you’ll be pleased to know, I’ve now taken you off speed dial!”

A massive thank you to all the crew, especially ring master Ross who helped me through the whole day. They were so inclusive of everyone’s needs, receiving tremendous praise from all who attended. We were quite anxious about the initial costs but we achieved to raise a large amount of funds for our school whilst having fun. Thank you to all staff who supported us through the whole process.

Just a quick note to say thank you for a wonderful event last Monday. Everything was perfect – your guys were extremely helpful, the show was incredible and lots of fun was had despite the torrential rain.

I appreciate their no fuss attitude and attention to detail.

I’m already looking for an excuse to have you back!

Wow what a treat! Happy’s Circus came to our school yesterday and we had an amazing time! We booked it back in 2019 for the summer of 2020 but due to Covid it obviously had to be moved. The team have been so helpful throughout. The help and support we got to make this a successful event was excellent from start to finish. On the day Pippa, Sean and their team were fantastic. The 2 shows were out of this world and everyone had a brilliant time! So many people have told me how good it was and how much they enjoyed it! They all loved Billy the Clown and all the amazing acrobats. We would definitely have Happy’s Circus visit us again and we would recommend it to other schools too
