The lengendary Chinese State Circus kicks off their 2017 tour under the big top at Sandown Park in Esher (March 30 - April 2). Their newest show Dynasty features 30 world-class Chinese acrobats, aerial and martial artists and jugglers. The acts are based on traditional Chinese circus arts dating back over 2,000 years.
Having seen their UK tour in 2013 with my then 6 and 10 year old, I recall struggling to explain that we were going to see a 'circus' that didn't feature live animals. However, the action-packed show for audiences of all ages managed to keep their attention and did not disappoint.
In an age of technology and special effects, it is refreshing that a show centered around human skills stands the test of time. The show is scheduled to run through May with additional UK dates anticipated to be added. There is simply nothing quite like it and should not be missed!
Tickets start at £10 for children 2-12 and £12 for adults with ringside seats at selling for £24 and £28 respectively. Book on-line to save an additional £2 per ticket.
