“Disappointing”

Written on: 07/05/2013

Went to circus in Mitcham with my two granddaughters, aged 3. We had ringside seats and the noise coming from the loudspeakers was so overwhelming that it frightened the girls who started to cry, and we had to leave. We saw the circus last year at Twickenham which was excellent. Unfortunately this year was ruined by the unbearable noise which seemed to have been turned up to the maximum as to drum up some kind of atmosphere as the arena was almost empty. (read more)

“absolute rip off”

Written on: 21/10/2012 by louiseoliver (1 review written)

from the moment we got there we were dissappointed. After paying an online booking fee, the seats we booked had been taken. Popcorn was stale, chips were horrible. You pay £5 for your child to touch a pony for 5 seconds, no ride or anything. every act feels like a filler, like there are just wasting time but never actually get to the good acts. Total waste of money and tile (read more)

The ringmaster happens to be the greatest ringmaster in the world norman Barret and he use to be be at Blackpool tower circus for many years, and was given the big red book from this is your life. How the hell can you say he mistreats his budgies? There are many pets that live in back gardens that are more mistreated. Budgies enjoy doing tricks like that. The ringmaster maybe old but he doesn't want to retire yet there is a video of him on youtube about him.

“Kids loved it. But VERY long”

Written on: 30/11/2011 by glenc (288 reviews written)

We went along to the Zippos circus (with horses...) on Twickenham Green with our 3 year old as a bit of a treat for her. She absolutely loved it - she was entranced by the acrobats and the horses - she was less keen on the 'comedy' elements (mainly because they weren't that funny I think!) but overall she loved it When we booked there was no indication of how long it was - and we had to leave well before the end as we'd been there for around 2 hours and had to get back our daughters dinner...

“Above average show, but below average clowning. ”

Written on: 12/08/2011

It is clowning such as the audience were presented with at Preston, that puts another nail in the coffin of the travelling circus in Britain. The clown puts a lot of effort into getting the audience to shout and scream and considerably less into being as funny as clowns are meant to be, but more about this later. The act themselves were more slanted towards grace and elegance than absolute danger. Danger was, as always, in the elevated acts of course, but it was not highlighted as it... (read more)

“Zippos Circus is good family entertainment with...”

Written on: 20/04/2009 by steverobinson0 (34 reviews written)

Zippos Circus is good family entertainment with quality acts, although I would make the following negative comments: the duration is slightly long due to an over-long interval, and I was slightly un-nerved by the lack of a safety-net as there were several acts that could have used such a safety device. The tight-rope act was breath-taking, but they did appear to lose their balance part-way through their act (although this may have been part of the act, of course). However, with a number of...
