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!

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!

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.

We invited Happy’s circus to our village primary school this week as a PTA event! They were fantastic! The communication and organisation before they arrived was outstanding! Their arrival and preparation for the event was smooth and planned to perfection! They helped us run an event that was enjoyed by all the family at the same time as promoting our fundraising and helping us to raise funds for the school! We received brilliant reviews from everyone that attended! We would highly recommend them! Thanks Happy’s Circus you are fab!!! We wouldn’t hesitate to use you again!

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

Bruce Hibbert

Our PTA has booked Happy’s Circus three times and we’ve always been delighted with their service. The booking process was very straightforward: the office staff were always ready to answer our questions and help us to tailor the event to our individual needs. Communication from Happy’s was excellent, with regular emails from the fundraising team. They provide us with a brilliant information service with everything you need to know to put on the event, including ideas for fundraising, marketing, site layout, brochures, and so much more.

The focus is definitely on helping schools make their event a fundraising success.

On the day, the circus arrived and set up quickly and efficiently, leaving the members of the PTA to concentrate on food and fundraising stalls.

The circus staff were professional and courteous throughout, and got on with the set-up quickly and efficiently.

The show itself is always incredibly impressive – The Happy’s Circus team are true professionals, and everyone was amazed by the expertise of the performers. The show is genuinely entertaining for both children and adults.

We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Happy’s Circus to other schools.

We had our circus on a beautiful day in May, the sun shone and the children had a wonderful time! It is very age appropriate, funny, daring and thrilling mixed into one show.

We are a small primary school with 210 pupils but sold out at the circus, raising £4.5k for our school funds, which is a record breaking event.

A huge thank you to all the team at Happy’s, we would highly recommend.

“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!”

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
