But why do we love the circus so much? The thrill of the circus has captivated audiences for generations since English entrepreneur and showman Philip Astley first drew out a ring in London in 1768 and filled it with astonishing tumblers, horses, acrobats, jugglers and clowns.

Audiences are drawn to the sheer visual spectacle of the circus and the daring feats of human skill on display. The colourful costumes and dazzling lights all contribute to an immersive experience that captivates viewers and they are transported to a realm where ordinary rules do not apply, allowing people to suspend their disbelief and indulge in a sense of childlike wonder. Many circus acts also push the boundaries of human capabilities, involving high-risk stunts and breathtaking displays of ability. The danger and suspense associated with circus performances generates an adrenaline rush that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats!
