Circus Extreme is thrilled to be returning to the United Kingdom in 2024 as part of its World Tour. A one-of-a-kind performance, that was five years in the making and features some of the most talented performers in the world.

The UK was specifically chosen as a location for Circus Extreme due to its diverse cultural background. The United Kingdom is a major centre of the creative industries, so where better to celebrate the vibrant, artistic and awe-inspiring nature of the circus.

Merging modern and contemporary styles with extreme stunts and classic clown escapades, audiences will be amazed by the jam-packed Circus Extreme production which features show-stopping performances that will have you on the edge of your seat.

Battling for air space, our resident riders are sure to get the adrenaline pumping as they defy gravity with incredible mid-air backflips.

Our EXTREME® stunt riding team will also be performing the Globe of Death, the most death-defying act ever demonstrated! This incredible stunt will put the performers under G-force similar to that of a fighter pilot. Watch as they loop vertically and horizontally all while encased in a mesh sphere. This really is one for the petrolheads!
