What a wonderful way to start our school year!
Our PTA, in collaboration with Happy’s Circus, organised a spectacular circus show for the children and their families to enjoy. From our initial contact with Happy’s Circus all the way through to the Big Top being dismantled in our school field, I cannot fault the organisation and professionalism of this fantastic company; I would highly recommend them without any reservation to anyone looking to provide an exciting event within their school grounds.
Kind regards,
Catherine Forrester
Headteacher, New Scotland Hill Primary School and Nursery
We had such a wonderful experience with Happy’s Circus. From the very first contact, the support was really helpful, timely, supportive, and positive. We managed to sell all 600 tickets in advance, and along with sponsorship from local businesses, a few PTA stalls, and selling pitches to traders we managed to raise over £4000 for our PTA. The team on the day were extremely sleek and professional and were really self-sufficient. That was the one thing we didn’t need to worry about on the day. The show itself was a big hit, from the efficiency of getting guests seated, to the acts themselves, everyone was really impressed. There was a great mix of impressive acrobatics and comedy, and of course the kids screamed with joy at the water guns! We would have the circus back in a blink and now knowing how successful it was, would be able to be much more relaxed at how easy the process was.
Thank you Happy’s Circus and hope to see you again soon!

“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!

“Happy Circus is an amazing experience for any school! The organisation is excellent and we were able to put on an amazing event for the family, which was hassle free and superb quality. The Happy Circus team are wonderful and they go above and beyond to ensure the school is kept well informed and the event runs efficiently. From the moment they arrive the Circus coming to school created a buzz, and the children loved seeing the big top go up! The show itself is of high quality and the acts perform amazing stunts which defy belief. The chemistry between Happy and Pip was brilliant and all of the family laughed a lot. If you are worried about having the circus come to your school, then don’t be, it’s hassle free, amazing entertainment and the added bonus is you raise loads of money for the school! ”

Dear Happy Circus Team,
Happy Circus – Russell Lower School
Following an absolutely superb show on Wednesday, please find below a testimonial
Thank you so much to the staff of Happy Circus who visited us for the first time this year! From the initial correspondence to seeing them off site the day after our show the Happy Circus team were an absolute pleasure to work with.
The processes that Happy’s have in place to ensure your event runs smoothly is absolutely fantastic and removes any stresses of the organiser. With the supporting information and details provided in the support pack we were able to sell out our first performance. The literature issued is clear and provides excellent guidelines for planning a successful event.
The show itself was enjoyed by all who attended, the children were absolutely buzzing with excitement after watching the Big top being set up in the day to being able to sit in the show and watch the wonderful performances by all involved. The noise from the children certainly raised the roof and the parents all commented to say how good the performance was and how nice it was to have something different at the school.
The show was such a success for us that we have planned a returning visit for a two day event to our school in 2018.
It has been a pleasure working with the Happy’s team and we cannot wait to have you back in the future.

“Working with Happy’s Circus has been an absolute pleasure from beginning to end. The whole team, led by Shaun and Pippa, were professional, efficient, and a joy to have on site — everything ran like clockwork. Emma in the office was outstanding; her clear guidance and encouragement meant we always felt supported and never overwhelmed.
What really sets Happy’s Circus apart is how thorough and thoughtful the process is. The pre-event communications gave us a clear roadmap, with reminders, tips, and practical fundraising ideas that made it easy to stay organised. From planning to setup on the day, nothing was left to chance — every detail was considered, which took the pressure off our PTA and allowed us to simply enjoy the experience.
The event itself exceeded all expectations. The Big Top created a magical atmosphere and the performances were fantastic — children and adults alike were mesmerised, laughing and cheering throughout. Families are still talking about what a memorable weekend it was, and the sense of community spirit it created was priceless.
Importantly, it was also a huge financial success for our PTA, giving us the resources to invest back into the school. Yet it never felt like just a fundraiser — it felt like a true celebration that brought everyone together.
We cannot recommend Happy’s Circus highly enough. They combine professionalism and organisation with warmth and fun, and they delivered an unforgettable event that our community will be talking about for years to come.”

Hi Rebecca
Thanks for your call earlier.
The Circus was amazing last night and thoroughly enjoyed by all at Hawley Primary. Right from the start the booking process was easy and even though this was your third visit to us, the support calls and information were really helpful. We worked hard, launching the event with a circus skills day months before, and kept on promoting ticket sales so that we were virtually sold out.The team on the day was amazing and unbelievably organised! It all went smoothly and we ended up raising £5500 in profit from ticket sale, raffle and stallsLook forward to seeing you again in a couple of years!

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!
