Circus shows in London

  • Circuses
  • Charing Cross Road
Masterminded by touring circus company Zippos, Cirque Berserk is a thrilling show that's custom-designed for indoor theatre spaces. This October half-term it descends upon the West End with the usual high-octane line-up of acts, including acrobats, jugglers, aerialists, and stunt drivers. Expect spills, thrills and enough aldrenaline to fell an ox. In honour of half-term, kids go for half-price, which you’d think might be common but is actually pretty rare in the world of West End theatre. For ages five-plus.
  • Circuses
  • South Bank
The Southbank Centre’s big family-friendly Christmas show is the European premiere of Cirque Alice, an Australian circus extravangaza with an Alice in Wonderland theme from the team behidn the recent West End hit Now You See Me. Expect mind-boggling acrobatic feats made even more mind-boggling yet via the addition of Lewis Caroll’s various trippy denizens. For ages five plus.
