Roll up for tickets to Circus Starr: A Circus with a Purpose!

They understand that attending mainstream events can be difficult for children with additional needs or families in difficult circumstances which is why they’ve created a tut-free zone; a show in which shouting out, dancing and jumping up and down are expected. At their circus, everyone is absolutely encouraged to let go of their worries, get involved, and be themselves.
Circus Starr mission is to transform, enrich and inspire the lives of children and families who need it most across the UK, through the magical art of circus performance.
Every child, parent, and carer attending the show will require their own ticket (with the exception of baby in arms).
If you require a wheelchair space, please do let us know.
