Zippos Circus comes to town this spring performing their unique circus show. Setting up their big top tent at several venues in and around town this April, London locations include Blackheath Common, Brockwell Park and Finsbury Park. This well-loved travelling company specialises in old fashioned entertainment that harks back to the golden era of the traditional horse-drawn travelling circus. Veteran ringmaster Norman Barrett - recently awarded an MBE in recognition of his services to entertainment during his 60-plus years in the industry - performs his hilarious budgies then guides you through the cast of performing horses, high-wire acts, aerial artists and clowns. Zippos isn't just for the kids, it's a genuine family show that people of all ages will enjoy. LONDON DATES:
Blackheath Common - 1-13 April
Brockwell Park - 15-20 April
Finsbury Park - 22-27 April
About Blackheath Common
Blackheath Common, to the south of Greenwich Park, is a World Heritage Site. It benefits from a high vantage point beside the Thames so you get some good views over the capital and from Point Hill you can see the three counties of Essex, Kent and Surrey laid out before you.
