Roll up, Roll up! A Free Family Circus Event at arc Shopping Centre
This August arc presented The Greatest Summer Show! The circus came to arc Shopping Centre for three days of spectacular entertainment from 18th-20th August.
Visitors joined us in Charter Square for an unforgettable celebration packed with live performances, interactive workshops and colourful family fun throughout the school holidays. Whether you learnt new circus skills, watched incredible magic, or met our larger-than-life performers, there was something for visitors of all ages to enjoy.
Want to know what happened?
Shoppers kick started the celebrations by trying their hand at Circus Skills with engaging workshops. They got into the circus spirit with a fun face paint and delicious candy floss to complete the experience.
On day two, they were amazed by our spectacular Magic Shows and enjoyed a mesmerising Giant Bubble Show! Many enjoyed having their face painted and snapped photos with the roaming strong man.
The fun continued on day three with more Circus Skills workshops and face painting, while also watching some incredible Aerial Hoop Performers, Ringmaster Stilt Walkers and a Juggler. The circus was truly brought to life at arc Shopping Centre!
Thank you to everyone who came down and enjoyed three days of circus fun with us, raising money for MyWiSH, our charity partner for 2026/27!
