We shall always be thankful to the donors who helped turn this dream into a reality.
The Magpie Big Top is available to hire across for events taking place across the UK. From the North East of England we regularly take our tents to festivals, public events and private hire to Scotland, Yorkshire, London, The Midlands, Isle of Wight, Home Counties and South East England. If you’re a community event in Edinburgh – we’ve got the Big Top. If you’ve got a corporate event in Manchester – we’re the circus for you. We’ve visited Island locations from The Outer Hebrides to Lindisfarne, and Shetland Isles and Isle of Wight. We’re just waiting for an invitation from Scilly Isles and the Isle of Man, and we’ll come to you too.
The Peewee’s
In 2017 we added two more boutique tents to our range “The Peewees”. They are the smallest functional Big Tops in the UK, with their quirky scale making them fantastic micro venues.
Internal Dimensions 8m x 6m + vestibules
External Footprint 12 x 12m
Each Peewee has three vestibules and can be set in different configurations with or without walls
Fully rigable for circus performance
Our Peewee tents make great small venues for performance, kooky bars and festival zones. With or without The Magpie, their colourful designs and quirky proportions make a beautiful event space – like this!.
The Peewee Tents
All of our tents can be hired as canvas only for you to dress as a venue, or we can bring a full infrastructure package with sound, light, stage, seating and all that you need!
A smaller version of the Magpie, The Peewees are available for single day hire as well as longer stands.
