Experience the wonder. Share the laughter. Join the family under the Big Top.
“I had the most wonderful time at Happy’s Circus and honestly came away with the biggest smile on my face!
Through my work with World’s Fair, I get the lovely opportunity to visit lots of different circuses and experience the magic of circus life quite regularly. But what made this visit so special was the lovely atmosphere, the kindness of everyone involved and the way I was made to feel part of everything.
I’m autistic and have ADHD, and sometimes a little extra kindness and understanding can mean the absolute world to me. Pippa, Shaun and the whole Happy’s Circus team were just wonderful. They made me feel so comfortable, welcome and included, and I honestly cannot thank them enough for that.
It was one of those days where you come away feeling genuinely happy, and I’ll certainly be remembering it with a big smile!”
“Happy’s Circus visited our school for the second time on Wednesday, after first visiting us three years ago and WOW, what an unforgettable event! The feedback from parents has been absolutely incredible, and everyone is still buzzing with excitement!
From the moment the Big Top started going up, there was such a magical atmosphere around school. Watching the set-up and pack-up was amazing in itself, and the entire Happy’s Circus team were fantastic throughout. Nothing was too much trouble, every question was answered, and they made the whole experience feel so special from start to finish.
A huge special mention has to go to Rebecca, who has been absolutely brilliant from the moment we booked. I genuinely feel like I know her personally after all our conversations! She was supportive, responsive, helpful and reassuring every step of the way. The promotional materials, communication and support provided made organising such a huge event feel so much easier.
Not only did the children and families have the most amazing evening, but as a PTFA, we are absolutely thrilled to have raised over £4,000 in profit for our school community!
The children are already asking when Happy’s Circus can come back again… and honestly, so are we!
Thank you so much, Happy’s Circus, for bringing so much joy, laughter and magic to our school community”
“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”
Outstanding Experience with Happy’s Circus!
As the Chair of the Hollyfast PTFA, I wanted to share our fantastic experience with Happy’s Circus. As a PTFA, we had the ambitious idea of bringing a circus to our school, despite never having organised anything on this scale before.
From our very first enquiry, the support we received was exceptional. Emma guided us through every stage of the planning process, providing regular communication, helpful advice, and great ideas to help us maximise fundraising opportunities. We always felt fully supported and nothing was ever too much trouble.
On arrival, the entire team were professional, friendly, and incredibly accommodating. We had some logistical challenges with the site, involving two playgrounds and a field, but the team handled everything brilliantly. Sean, the show manager, was particularly helpful, professional, and a pleasure to work with.
Watching the Big Top go up was amazing, and the whole team worked efficiently and safely. Throughout the event, it genuinely felt like we were one team working together to make the evening a success.
We deliberately kept our ticket prices affordable to ensure the event was accessible to all families, and alongside our refreshments and tuck shop, we were delighted to raise just under £3,500 for our school. These funds will go directly back into enriching the experiences and opportunities available to our pupils and family’s
The performance itself was absolutely fantastic. Every act was entertaining, professional, and thoroughly enjoyed by children and adults alike. The whole show was extremely well organised and delivered to a very high standard.
Following our post-event meeting, we are already discussing bringing Happy’s Circus back to our school, possibly for two nights next time.
A huge thank you to everyone at Happy’s Circus. We absolutely loved working with you and would highly recommend you to any school or organisation looking for a memorable fundraising event.
“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!”
Selling early bird tickets removes all of our worries and risk of cost and we find the event really profitable relative to the amount of work it involves for our small Committee. It is also a wonderful community and family event.
We can’t recommend Happy’s Circus highly enough and are already looking forward to our next circus visit.
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,
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.
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
