Audience Feedback
On 17 August, we were pleased to welcome back for the second time, Happy’s Circus. The setup was seamless, exactly as was planned, and the Big Top and its surroundings looked very attractive.
Our families that attended had a wonderful time and there were smiles all around as they left. It is hard to say what the highlights were because there were so many with something for everyone from the very funny routines to the incredible aerial work.
The timing was perfect not too long and value for money. The Circus left this morning and amazingly, the school field today looks like no one has been there!
Thank you, Happy’s Circus!

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.

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!!

I wanted to send a quick email to give some very positive feedback about our experience with Happy’s Circus this May 2024.
The school was left immaculate and we cannot wait to welcome them back in two years time!
From the moment of booking through to the follow up call the day after the circus, the team have been unbelievably helpful, organised and kind. They have been there at every turn with the planning emails and phone calls. Any questions we’ve had, they have answered promptly and this has been invaluable for our first circus.
The day itself couldn’t have gone more smoothly. The team are organised and professional. They have so much experience and they use it so well. They offer their help where and when needed and they were so accommodating to all our questions.The performance was brilliant and there was nothing but smile and laughter across the big top. Children went home inspired and in awe of what they had seen. For many it was their first circus experience, and they came out wanting more.
Thank you so much.

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

A thoroughly enjoyable interactive event for all ages across the primary school; parents and staff enjoyed too!
The pupils experienced the exciting atmosphere of the Big Top and were treated to a quality show complete with costumes, lighting and sound, from highly skilled performers and acrobats.
Safeguarding protocols and Health and Safety are held in high regard for this very professional company.
They provide schools with a host of certificates, risk assessments and relevant documentation in these areas.
There is a ‘moral’ theme running through the show which is a positive one in that we should all feel good about ourselves and respect others, treating them as we wish to be treated ourselves.
The event raised much needed funds for the school also! Happy Circus, Happy Audience!

Hi Ben, and all the other coordinators at Happy’s Circus,
I just wanted to say a big thank you for all your help on the run up to the circus, nothing was too much trouble and you were all more than helpful!
Our circus was a huge success despite being done slightly differently to how its usually done in terms of tickets sales and the feedback has been amazing!
So can you pass a huge thank you to all the office staff as I appreciate this side of the company doesn’t always get the recognition it deserves!!
We will be looking to do another circus next year in July probably so if you could let me know what days you have available
Many thanks

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!

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!
I would highly recommend Happy’s Circus for a PTA/school event, it was a wonderful experience and one that has created memories for not just our children but our adults as well. Happy’s Circus administration team were brilliant also, I had monthly updates/countdowns and regular communication.
Shaun, you should be extremely proud of yourself and your team for the joy and happiness you have brought to the children. Well done and I look forward to seeing you all again soon!

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.
