The Circus Big Top

This information relates to Glastonbury Festival 2003

The Circus Big Top should, by rights, live in the Circus Field, but there is not enough room for it there, so here it sits in East Holts with smashing sound and lights and room for an audience of 2,500.

Your compares in the Circus Big Top are The Mighty Gareth, Rebecca Morden plus others to be announced, and they will be presenting a fantastic array of circus performances from approximately 11.00 a.m. until about 1.30 a.m. each day.

The Big Top opens and closes with lively music performances from Swamp Circus will be presenting 2 x 35-minute Circus Cabarets each day, Planet Banana from America have a honking 1 hour show, Stereophonic Circus will be presenting DubCircus and Incandescense will be presenting a beautiful and lyrical night time largely aerial show. We have masses of beautiful aerial acts, that include Kat Osborne, Girisho with his amazing new ladder trapeze, Starfiz, Claire de Lune and the wonderful Tumble Circus from Belfast, more details to follow soon. Acrobatics are represented by the Acromaniacs from America, Freefall, Bubble and Squeak and the inimitable Black Eagles. There is wonderful juggling, diabolo and tango dancing from Holland from The Individuals (Maike Aerden, whose diabolo has entranced our audiences for so many years and Michiel Hesseling of the legendary Flying Dutchmen), brilliant ball rolling from Full Moon, high-speed juggling from Nils Poll of Denmark and incredibly stylish tricks from America's Jay Gilligan.

There will be stunning bike tricks from Australia's Bike Boy, escapology from Devlin, clowning from the highly talented Arturo and from Fraser, and exciting street circus pieces from the stunning, 100% tattooed Richie Rich, Shirley Sunflower, Sharon Mahoney, Silver and a Dying Swan from Judith Lanigan.
