Circus Pazaz, the family-focused touring circus known as the “little circus with big fun”, is announcing its summer 2026 touring season as it looks to develop new partnerships across the UK events industry.
Founded in 2013, Circus Pazaz delivers high quality, professional circus performances and interactive circus skills workshops, primarily as fundraising events for schools during the summer term. The company is now expanding its touring season to focus on festivals, council-led events and public attractions during the summer holiday period in late July through to the end of August 2026
Having spent over a decade providing shows and workshops at schools nationwide, Circus Pazaz has developed and refined their model that consistently delivers for its clients, and, which will easily translate to a wider event offering in 2026. With family audiences increasingly seeking shared, screen-free experiences, Circus Pazaz positions itself as a live, engaging and participatory addition to the summer events calendar.
“We’ve seen a growing demand from event organisers looking for family programming that’s both high quality and easy to host,” said Tilly, Director of Circus Pazaz. “Our summer 2026 tour is about building long-term partnerships with events that value accessibility, creativity and strong audience experience.”
Circus Pazaz tours with its own ‘little’ big top, which seats up to 220 people and creates an intimate, all-weather venue for their 50-minute circus performances. In addition to its shows, the company also creates outdoor circus skills workshop areas, providing hands-on engagement opportunities that complement wider event programming and help increase dwell time for family audiences.
The Circus Pazaz big top has a modest 23 metre diameter footprint designed to fit comfortably within festival sites and public spaces on any grassed area with vehicle access. Due to its compact size, Pazaz’s largest vehicle is a commercial sized long wheel-based van with trailer, making it easy to access a wide range of sites.
From a production perspective, Circus Pazaz can operate as a self-contained attraction, touring with its own power, rigging, staging and front-of-house systems, allowing organisers to integrate the circus easily into existing site layouts without significant infrastructure demands. This turnkey approach positions Circus Pazaz as a flexible option for event organisers seeking high-quality family entertainment with minimal operational complexity.
Pazaz’s expert crew of six can be set up and ready for showtime in three hours of arrival and can be driving off site two hours from the close of their final performance, giving them the capability for both single and multi-day events. Their bright, colourful and engaging circus workshop area can be installed as an adjunct to the big top or can easily stand alone as its own unique attraction at any event.
The Circus Pazaz offering is suited to a wide range of events including music festivals, local authority programmes, family weekends, heritage sites, town-centre activations and private venues. “We’re always happy to discuss options with clients to create bespoke packages, tailored to suit their specific event.” – Tilly.
The summer 2026 touring window will run from 23 July to 31 August, with Circus Pazaz operating across the South East, South West, East Anglia, East Midlands and West Midlands. Bookings are now being taken, with availability particularly focused on the main August period.
While the initial focus is on August 2026, Circus Pazaz sees this extended season as the first step in a longer-term strategy to establish regular annual partnerships with festivals and event producers across the UK.
