“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 50^th 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!

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!

Happy Circus came to St Micheal’s School Stewkley on Saturday 13th May.

It was a truly wonderful afternoon. The Circus performance was brilliant, they got both adults and children laughing and the acrobats were astounding, definitely 5 star entertainment!
Everyone from school was very impressed and left ‘Happy’. We also managed to raise a lot of much needed funds to help with the school playground makeover project. I would recommend inviting Happy Circus to your school, it’s a novel, exciting and effective fundraiser.

The circus was amazing and we raised lots of money with the tickets and stalls. Your team were great too!

Thanks for all your support and hopefully we will be arranging another visit to school in the future.

Henry’s doing well – lots of physio ahead but all worthwhile.

Thank you once again for a superb fundraising event.

I would certainly give you my highest recommendation

Best wishes

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!

“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.

We have been blown away by the professionalism and dedication of the Happy’s Circus team.

Our wet field, and residential position by no means made the Circus installation an easy one, and we can’t express how grateful we are that Shaun and the team made it all happen regardless.

Set up challenges aside, the main event went beyond our expectations. Larger than life acts, brilliant use of music and humour all got everyone watching completely engaged.

The smiles of the kids said it all, and the feedback we’ve received from the parents has been fantastic.

We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Happy’s to other schools.

Best Regards

I would just like to say a big thank you to you and your team for putting on such a genuinely happy and spectacular event at our school last week.

There was a buzz in the air all day with the children being so excited to see a Big Top appear on the field in the morning and being allowed to look inside was a real treat.

We have a fantastic PTA team at St. Andrew’s and we are very grateful to them for organising the event together with you and your team.

Observing all COVID restrictions worked really well and it was great to have your colleagues on hand to make sure that people followed procedures correctly.

The show was magnificent and perfectly pitched to the audience of mixed age groups and there was great excitement the next day in school with children talking about their favourite acts and spectacles.

Please thank your team on our behalf, it was a genuine delight to see so many happy faces walking home at the end of the evening.

With best wishes
