Join us in our heated Big Top on Writer’s Square, Belfast

Join us for an all-new hour of hammer-smashing Belfast-inspired circus, comedy, and riotous fun. Winter Circus is a high-skill, all-human, all-thrill circus featuring death-defying aerialists, hardcore acrobats, and mind-bending jugglers. It is Belfast’s alternative festive extravaganza for all the family. 

Circus devilment and mighty craic, complete with dead on skills and big laughs. A warm welcome awaits you in our iconic heated Big Top where your comfort and safety are our priority. Winter Circus runs for three weeks in December.

What audiences have said:

“The best fun EVER! With remarkable circus skills and hilarious comedy. The big top is WARM inside and   there’s popcorn! Just go!!”

“Wonderful family day out. Perfect kickstart to Christmas. Part of what we do at Christmas the last 3 years.”

“This was our second year at the Relaxed Performance. Having kids who have severe anxiety and issues with crowds this show never disappoints them.”
