Circus 1903

Expect acrobats, contortionists, trapeze artists, a death-defying high-wire act and sensational life-sized elephants, created by the puppeteers behind War Horse.

All this entertainment is packaged into a show with a gorgeous vintage feel, inspired by the classic circuses of the turn-of-the-century era. And there’s great news if you’re lucky enough to have experienced the thrill of CIRCUS 1903 already: there are new acts included for 2021.

CIRCUS 1903 is suitable for families, however we do ask you to promise us that you won’t try to recreate any of the more dangerous stunts at home; no matter how tempted you are.
