Grand Aerial

& Astonishing

Circus of the Obsolete

A travelling company of forty-one performers, three brass players and one deeply unimpressed goose, touring the market towns since 1911.

Under Canvas at Hollow Field

7 PM

Gates at half past five. Brass band from six. Doors close the moment the ringmaster's whistle sounds — and it is a punctual whistle.
