We have three sizes of tent. Our largest will hold up to 300 children for Shows.

Smeaton Primary School, Pontefract
“ We had a great day with Circus sensible. The children loved the skills they were taught and have continued to work at the things they found difficult. Thank you to the team for sharing their work with the children. We would love to have them back to school again soon.”

Mount Pleasant School, Huddersfield
“I just wanted to say a huge thank you from both the children and the staff at Mount Pleasant. We've had such an amazing time over the last three days with Jay. It's sometimes difficult to find an activity suitable for children from Nursery through to Year 6, but feedback from all over school has been very, very positive. It's actually been difficult for me to get down the corridor in school this week as both children and staff have been stopping me to tell me how much they've enjoyed it! ”

Green Hammerton School, Harrogate, Yorkshire
“We booked Circus Sensible to come to our primary school to help us celebrate our 150th anniversary. They had been ten years earlier for our 140th and it had been such a good day that we decided to do it all again. Tik, Tok and Peter Sensible arrived early to set the big top up on the field and then the whole school gathered (110 kids) in there for a performance to start the day off. We then had workshops throughout the day - all of which they made suitable to whatever age was taking part. We finished the day with our PTA putting on refreshments, raffle , games etc and a family show in the tent. Communication throughout was excellent and we all had a great day. The children particularly enjoyed Tik & Tok's antics in the first show of the day! Would definitely recommend.”

Reedness Primary School, Goole, East Riding
“ just thought I would take the time to let you know about our Big Top experience was on Monday......... IT WAS FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Andy and Oliver did you proud. They were great with the children and staff from the start to the end of the day. We laughed, cried {at some of there bad jokes} but loved the whole experience.
The show they put on at the beginning was brilliant and enjoyed by all. They then taught the children a whole range of skills and learnt every childs name by the end of the day!
We had a parent show at 2pm {our first experience of inviting parents to a school event for 18 months!} and the turn out was incredible. All parents and grandparents joined in working with the children and the performance lasted about 80 minutes! The feedback from parents was just so good and my staff had one of the best days they have ever had!

Please can this be sent to the boss/owner of the company as I think you all deserve some credit for making this day so memorable! “
