Popular family show circus returns – with free tickets up for grabs

A popular circus has returned to the outskirts of Lynn for just over a week of spectacular shows for people of all ages to enjoy.Circus Mondao is getting ready to entertain audiences starting next Friday at its big top on land next to the Rising Lodge Farm Shop at Knights Hill in South Wootton.And they have teamed up with Lynn News to give away five free family tickets.

The traditional circus is bringing a completely new show with some of the old favourite acts that audiences love.New for this year, pirates are coming to Knights Hill for a large production, while horses, ponies and pigeons – which are a “big hit” with the children – are back.Brand new for this year is also a fairytale fantasy, but don’t worry, Kikin the clown from Chile, who has become very popular, will be making a return to bring silliness and “good fun” to the crowds.

Audiences can expect to see daring acts such as a trapeze artist, a giant wheel of death (this year featuring a sensational summersault on the outside of the wheel), jugglers, acrobats and much more for an action-packed show for the whole family. This year, Circus Mondao has a whole new look after investing in its appearance, lighting and production.Site manager Janerik said: “Our aim here is always to entertain, put on a great show and see smiley faces.

“There is nothing more rewarding than looking out into the public and seeing three generations of the same family all enjoying the same thing. “It is good clean family fun. We are a traditional circus with a very modern feel.“It is more than just a circus – it is a circus experience. This is the beauty of it. Children never forget their first time coming to the circus – no matter how old you get, you always remember.”

Under the big top will be refreshments – popcorn, hotdogs, burgers, candy floss and much more – as well as a licensed bar.Circus Mondao is also pushing out the boat this year – literally – as Kikin will have a vessel instead of a car. Performances will be held on:
