Welcome to Happy’s Circus

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.

Hi Rebecca

We first made contact just before Christmas and 7 months later we hosted an amazing end-of-school-year celebration! Our school uses the Basingstoke and North Hants Cricket Club as our sports field and this is where we hosted Happy’s Circus.

The event was a great success, the kids absolutely loved it and we had lots of positive feedback.  It was the perfect end to the school year. We combined it with the school summer fair so the children came after school on the last day to the playing field and had fun with the stalls and activities as part of the fair before going to the circus.

We wanted the day to not just be about fundraising and we certainly created a day full of fun and memories.

The pre-event support was super useful in keeping us on track and helping us do what needed to be done in a timely manner. I didn’t see the show myself but my kids tell me the clowns and acrobats were especially entertaining.

Thank you for helping us make this happen, We sold 595 tickets and raised £2960!

Kind Regards

“Nearly a week on and our team is still buzzing from the fabulous day that was created by having Happy’s Circus visit our School.

The support offered from day one of booking, has been superb! Emma in particular has been my main contact, and she was professional, friendly and super helpful throughout.

The set up, the show and the take down of the Big top by the team worked like a well oiled machine. The kids absolutely loved the show.

We are super thankful that Shaun, Pippa and rest of the team came to Cobham PS. The day raised a huge amount of funds for us! Thank you a thousand times”

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!

“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.”

“We had an absolutely fantastic experience working with Happy’s Circus. From start to finish, the team were professional, friendly and incredibly well-organised. The pre-event communication was excellent, with helpful emails and calls that made the planning process smooth and stress-free.

On the day itself, Shaun and the team were brilliant. They arrived and departed exactly as scheduled, and the set-up and dismantling of the Big Top was carried out with military-style precision — it was genuinely impressive to watch! Despite their busy schedule, Shaun kindly took the time to hold some impromptu Q&A sessions with our children, which created so much extra excitement around the event and meant a great deal to us as a school.

The show itself was fantastic — all the performers were excellent, and it was a real treat to see such a talented, high-energy cast entertain families of all ages. The children especially loved getting sprayed with water at the end — a brilliant moment that had everyone laughing! It was a true family event and created memories we’ll be talking about for a long time.

Thanks to the evening’s success, we were able to raise over £2,500 profit for our school — especially pleasing given our short selling window and limited stalls (just food, drinks and a raffle).

We’d definitely look to welcome Happy’s Circus back again in the future and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to other schools and organisations looking for a fun, professional and memorable event.

A huge thank you to Shaun, Pippa, Rebecca and the whole team for making it such a wonderful experience!”

Wonderful team and a pleasure deal with, thank you!

I would just like to say a massive thank you for yesterday! The circus was amazing and so much more than we expected.The whole evening was perfect, the atmosphere was amazing and the circus is still the main topic of conversation for parents and children, who have told us it’s the best thing they have ever attended and that the school have held.When we booked you 18 moths ago we were all very nervous about how it would work and if we could make it successful, with a lot of hard work and a good team with us and the support for you, it was a huge success. You have all been so helpful, friendly, and given great advice, The team were great in giving us ideas for setting out our stalls to work together.We are not a massive school but with the support from you, and local businesses we estimate we have raise approx £5000 which is phenomenal. We will be booking you again!!

“We are so immensely happy with our experience with Happy’s Circus. My contact Rebecca could not have been more helpful, with updates along the way, useful materials to boost interest in ticket sales and always happy to answer any questions we had.

The circus were so professional on arrival and set up, getting the excitement going with the big top being up for our fete beforehand.

Thanks to the Circus, programme, sponsorship and fete we raised over £7300 in profit!

Everyone was amazed at the acts and how they could perform such a great show in the school field! The children loved Mr Slinky, giggled and screamed at Steve the clown and ring mistress Pippa’s antics and everyone was in awe of the acrobatic acts.

The day couldn’t have gone any better!”
