If the thrills and spills of the circus are just the tonic you need to get the family in a good mood, then head to New Brighton next month.
Circus Spectacular is heading to the Floral Pavilion on Monday, February 21, promising to bring international circus acts, amazing magic, and lots
of laughs.
But if you want a piece of the action you'll have to be quick, as the show is here for one night only.
Producer James Shone said: “Circus Spectacular will be a massive hit with family audiences. The show is packed with great performers from all walks of life, who have worked hard to craft their skills and become the very best they can be, mixed with their showmanship and enthusiasm, you will certainly be entertained!”

Leading the cast of Circus Spectacular is Bippo The Clown. Gareth ‘Bippo’ Ellis made his debut into performing when he was just nine years old and he’s never looked back.
With the support of his parents, Gareth slowly started to carve his path in show business. After buying a small caravan Gareth and his parents used to join Zippos Circus during school holidays.
It was during one of these holidays Gareth was taking part in publicity for the circus with Zippo himself. When asked by a reporter what his clown name was Martin ‘Zippo’ Burton replied - "He is a baby Zippo therefore his name is Bippo!”
Bippo has since appeared on TV shows such as Blue Peter, Dick and Dom in The Bungalow, Big Brother, The Sooty Show and even his own BBC3 documentary ‘Send In The Clowns’.
Bippo is joined by his partner Miss Chelsea. Chelsea is a multi-talented performer and has many strings to her bow. Not only does she do her hula hoop act - she has also specialised in many other aspects of circus including, aerial cube, aerial silks, solo trapeze and roller skating.

International juggling sensation Alfio Macaggi is a fourth-generation circus performer from one of Spain’s most famous circus dynasties.
Making his professional debut as a juggler at the age of 11, Alfio has since become one of the most sought-after performers in circuses across the world.
Joining the line-up is the incredible uuo Salsky. Thomas and Collette met while working on Chipperfields Circus in 1989 and since then, the duo have toured the world with their death-defying routines such as The Wheel of
Death, Rolla Rolla and roller skating.
Keeping it in the family, Thomas and Collette’s sons Peter and Dommy ‘The Salvador Brothers’ take to the stage with their incredible acrobatic routines.
