The popular attraction is on the hunt for someone who could one day fill the big shoes of the legendary Mooky.

Bosses are looking for someone who can juggle five balls, rings and more unusual items; perform incredible hair-raising tricks on a high-wire; or amaze the judges with some unicycle trickery, illusions and magic.

The search for a rising star of circus has been launched as Blackpool prepares for a summer of celebrations for the 250 anniversary of the first circus performed in 1782 in Paris.

Blackpool is one of six UK cities to take part in Circus 250 – along with Bristol, Great Yarmouth, London, Belfast and Newcastle.

There are events, parades and celebrations taking place around the globe.

Resident clowns, Mooky and Mr Boo have been performing at the Tower for 27 years and have audiences laughing in between the acts, who come from around the globe to perform in the most famous circus in the UK.

Kenny Mew, general manager at the Tower, said: “For 124 years, The Blackpool Tower Circus has been performing and entertaining people.

“The Endresz family have been wowing us every year for more than two decades but the time has come to find somebody with a talent.”
