Fort Kinnaird to host Big Kid Circus

The Big Kid Circus spectacle is set to land at Fort Kinnaird for the first time this week – with each performance guaranteeing thrills, excitement and laughter.  

From tomorrow – Wednesday 5th June – Sunday 9th June, the big top will be pitched in the car park at Fort Kinnaird, with several performances taking place each day.

The show, called ILLUMINATION, celebrates the extraordinary abilities all circus performers have and includes the first ever all-female ‘globe of death’ act in Europe.

Andrew Kinross, Outdoor Commercialisation Manager at Space and People, which has organised the event, said: “Customers have absolutely loved visiting the Big Kid Circus at other venues across the UK and we are thrilled to host the Big Kid Circus at Fort Kinnaird.

“I’m in awe at how talented the performers are, I can’t wait to see what tricks they have up their sleeves this year. They’ve promised lots of surprises so I’m sure it will live up to its mayhem theme.”

Liam Smith, Centre Director at Fort Kinnaird, said: “We’re always looking for new and different experiences for our visitors and Big Kid Circus is just that. It will be a great summer’s day out for all of the family to enjoy and we look forward to welcoming everyone in the local area to see the show.” 

Fort Kinnaird has advised walking or taking public transport to and from the event where possible. If travelling by car, please be aware that the car parks are likely to be busier than normal.
