We would certainly recommend Happy’s Circus for any school considering an exciting and enjoyable event for the whole school community. The performers were of a high quality and the show was perfectly matched to cater to both infant and junior aged children. The company stayed overnight on the school site in their own facilities and were perfect guests! Not only was this an brilliant fundraising event for the PTA to run, the circus brought some much needed fun, laughter and excitement to children and parents alike. Highly recommended!

Many thanks for joining us at Henry Hinde on the 23rd of June.
We thoroughly enjoyed the whole event, especially once the sales peaked in the last week. We would love to thank the whole amazing Happy’s Circus team.
Professional, organised, helpful, enthusiastic, supportive, and above all Happy right from the early planning stages through to the performance on the day and even early hours of Saturday morning, leaving a clean site and with a cheerful wave, off to their next venue.
What can we say, we really loved having you and would not hesitate in recommending you to other schools.
Who knows we may see you again at Henry Hinde in the future.

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.

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

Good Morning,
We just wanted to say a huge thank you to the whole team for putting on such a great show on Friday at Milldown CE Academy in Blandford.
Everyone was so helpful and professional and the kids had an absolutely fantastic time. It was really magical to see so many children laughing and screaming in delight!
We would absolutely recommend Happy’s Circus to any school.
Thanks again,

Happy’s Circus bought a day of wonder and fun for our whole school and the community. Supported by the Happy’s Circus administration team every step of the way we were able to put on a sell-out show for all to enjoy. The team on the day was fantastic giving guidance from the moment they arrived and putting on a spectacular show for all the family. Everyone was polite and helpful. This is a great fundraiser for any PTA, but is also a fantastic event to bring everyone together.
Thank you Happy’s for another fantastic day.

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

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.

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

“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”
