Steampunk theme at weekend for circus enthusiasts

This is a great weekend of workshops, shows and games for circus enthusiasts and absolute beginners.

This year’s theme is ‘steampunk’ so think ‘steam powered Victoriana’, get your glad rags on and head to The Hawth.

Visitors can come for the day, but the best value by far is the fully inclusive weekend ticket, which includes camping and all the workshops and shows (including Kettle of Fish professional cabaret). Plus, children under 6 accompanying weekend ticket holders can come along for free. Please request Under 6 tickets at time of booking.

There will be plenty to keep little ones entertained as Play Mosaic provide fun activities and toys in the afternoon. There will be arts and crafts, fresh playdough, water play, sand play, a baby zone, giant Jenga, swingball, ball run, bubbles and more.

On Saturday at 7pm Kettle Of Fish Circus Cabaret offer a fantastic international line-up. Witness the skill and beauty of some of Europe’s finest aerialists, acrobats and jugglers, all in the capable hands of magician and compere Christian Lee.

The audience can stay for the free fire show, which takes place afterwards in the grounds of The Hawth.

Kettle of Fish tickets cost £16 (discounts £12).

Circus Festival Weekend Tickets cost £32 (6-14 years £18). Day Tickets cost £12 (children £7).

Tickets are available from The Hawth Box Office on 01293 553636.
