Looking for an extraordinary night out that combines electrifying live entertainment with bold spectacle, breathtaking performances, and a fully stocked bar?
Look no further than Gandeys Circus’ Circus By Night — the ultimate adult circus experience touring the UK in 2026. This isn’t your traditional family show; it’s a daring after-dark event designed exclusively for adults, where danger meets glamour and the thrill of the circus leaps into the night.
Circus By Night returns in 2026 with a brand-new tour that pushes physical skill, theatrical storytelling, and sensory spectacle to their limits. With pulse-pounding acts, dazzling visuals, and a night-time circus atmosphere like no other, this adult-focused production promises to be one of the most talked-about events of the year.
Adult Night Out: Fully Stocked Bar
One of the standout features of Circus By Night is the fully stocked bar available at most UK locations (excluding Isle of Man, Jersey, Guernsey due to local licencing). This makes it the perfect choice for a grown-up night out — whether you’re planning a date night, celebrating with friends, or simply want a night of thrill and sophistication.
Sip cocktails, enjoy wine or craft beer, and soak up the atmosphere while sharing laughs and gasps with friends. The vibe is relaxed yet electric — the perfect blend of live performance and nightlife that sets Circus By Night apart from traditional circus entertainment.
Imagine a venue where the pulse of music matches the pulse of the show — a bar in hand, excitement building, and the crowd buzzing before the first performer steps into the spotlight.
That’s the Circus By Night promise.
What Is Circus By Night?
Circus By Night is a darker, more intense offshoot of the classic Gandeys Circus experience, crafted for audiences aged 16+ who want something bold, exciting, and unforgettable. Think circus artistry meets high-energy performance — but after dark, amplified with themes of allure, danger, and irresistible spectacle.
This show blends breathtaking choreography, dazzling costumes, and edge-of-your-seat performances that are designed to captivate from the moment the lights dim until the final curtain. Whether suspended high above the ring or commanding the centre stage, every performer delivers artistry that feels both intense and beautiful.
From fearless aerialists and acrobats to seamless rhythm and movement, Circus By Night isn’t just about watching — it’s about experiencing. Audiences become part of the show’s electric atmosphere as music soars, lighting ignites, and the beat carries you deeper into the night’s thrilling rhythm.
