The circus is coming to town…

John Lawson’s Circus will be at the Millennium Green from Monday, July 23 to Wednesday 25.

Inside the 24-metre wide Big Top, ringmaster Attila Andresz will introduce a variety of acts to make the audience gasp, laugh, or hold their breath.

Among the classic circus performers are the Duo Velvet on the high aerial cradle, knife-throwing act The Marshalls, a teenage juggler Rico Brukson, high speed hula hoops by Natalie, and clown Rudi with his friends. There is also TN Quick Change, a fast-paced costume change act from Hungary.

Monday will see just one show at 7pm, Tuesday two shows at 3pm and 7pm, and Wednesday a show at 3pm only.

John Lawson’s circus has always made a point of visiting smaller towns which do not normally attract big-name performers.

Tickets start from £7 and can be bought on site or by calling 07860 498833.
