Zippos Circus is back with an all-new 2025 show and we have no price increases so you pay the same as in 2024! The ever-popular acrobat and comedy star Paulo Dos Santos once again hosts the show. He might only be 3ft 6in tall but he has a big personality. Artists from Italy, France, Kenya, Mongolia, South America, the Ukraine and more join him in the circus ring. The show is packed with edge-of-your-seat thrills. From Italy, we have the very funny 'Mr Lorenz' providing comedy and laughs for children and adults alike. And from France, 'Cheyenne' will have you biting your fingernails as she swings through the air of the Zippos big top on the cloud swing! Martin 'Zippo' Burton commented, Along with Beau Denning Circus Director, I am thrilled that we are presenting the world's most celebrated performers in my 51st year in the circus industry. I am extremely proud that Zippos Circus is the UK's favourite family circus boasting a sensational cast of international artists and a talented team working behind the scenes.
