From heart‑stopping trapeze feats to high‑energy juggling and awe‑inspiring aerial displays, the 2026 production is set to deliver an unforgettable experience for all ages.

Rob Smith, General Manager of the Blackpool Tower Circus, said: “Every year, the Endresz family selects the very best international performers to delight our audiences. This season features seven brand‑new, breathtaking acts that will amaze visitors of all ages.

“We can’t wait to welcome guests back to create more magical memories in this truly unique venue.”

Dating back to 1894, the Blackpool Tower Circus is the second‑oldest permanent circus arena in the world, with seating for up to 1,250 guests.

It is also one of only a handful of circuses worldwide to feature a sinking ring. During the famous water finale, the hydraulic floor lowers to allow thousands of litres of water to flood the arena in under a minute.

Adult tickets start from £13.50, with 50% off for visitors with an FY postcode.
