We are very grateful to have the support of Museums Northumberland as we un pack our tent for the first time since Covid interupted our circus lives.If you visit the museum this week you may wonder if you need to check your eyesight.

We're so very grateful to receive a Cultural Recovery Fund grant. It will help us to dust off our infrastructure, support our performers to get out again and meet the challenges of creating circus and street arts within the new covid reality. We are so looking forward to once again being a live circus and bringing fantastic entertainment back to you.
