Farm Yard Circus will be heading to Bath on 10th August, featuring a circus show, workshops, music and giant bubbles.
Held on the Grotto Paddock next to Beckford’s Tower, there will be food on site, and an all-day bar. Attendees can also enjoy half-price entry to the tower and museum with their ticket.
The Farm Yard Circus is a high-impact circus theatre spectacle, with nine circus performers and acrobats from the South West, for audiences of all ages.
The show ranked in the Outdoor Arts UK top 10 in 2023, and is now coming to Bath for a full day of entertainment.
Using physical theatre and folk dance, the production will tell an uplifting tale of overcoming differences.
The day will include open box workshops, where the professional performers will teach the audience skills and tricks, to then be performed in the Friends and Family Variety Cabaret, supported by the cast.
Patrizia Ribul, Director of Museums at Bath Preservation Trust, said: “Beckford’s Tower and the surrounding landscape makes the perfect venue for all sorts of public and private events, from weddings to leisure groups to business events, so we are thrilled to be hosting the Farm Yard Circus Family Festival this summer.
“It is such a unique and fun show, full of excitement and stunts, that can be enjoyed by both young and old audiences alike – both individual and family tickets are available to purchase online.
“With live music, workshops and the all-important circus performance, it will be a truly unforgettable day.”
Tickets are available here.
Attendees are encouraged to arrive by public transport, as paid parking is limited. Bike racks are available and the site is on a bus route.
Beckford’s Tower Trust and BPT are both not-for-profit charities. Income generated by events at Beckford’s Tower meets the cost of running the museum and looking after the building and landscape.
Any surplus remaining, and other funds from BPT, is invested in collaborative projects, co-curation and educational activities which actively engage underrepresented communities, and continue our work to “reclaim the space” of the tower for all.
