All the fun of the circus A free event, 2nd-7th April

Home This Easter, run away with the circus

Prepare to be amazed

Roll up, roll up… the circus is coming to Junction 32 this Easter!

Get ready for a fun-filled, family day out as our central square transforms into a vibrant carnival of colour, laughter and unforgettable moments. When you arrive, you’ll be swept into a world of classic circus fun with themed podium stands for selfie opportunities as well as the sound of cheerful circus music filling the air.

Open Thursday 2nd April to Tuesday 7th April, 11am-4pm, near M&S. This is a community event with a difference, and it’s on for Good Friday, Easter Saturday & Sunday and bank holiday Monday.

Meet Jumbo the elephant

To launch this amazing event, Jumbo the animatronic elephant and circus character will be roaming around meeting and greeting guests. Be sure to save the date, 2nd April, to spot Jumbo and interact with this gentle giant. Jumbo will appear, alongside his chaperone, for three 20-minute sessions at 11am, 12pm and 1pm, offering people the chance to take photos and see the spectacle up close.

Hone your circus skills

Expect all the joy of the big top with games to enjoy, including Tin Can Alley, Bean Bag Toss, Hook-a-Duck, Ring Toss and Ball in a Bucket. Gather the family, step right up, and join in the excitement. Little ones (and grown-ups too!) can step into the spotlight with costumes and play with ribbon twirlers, hula hoops, red noses and funny hats. With six days of action-packed entertainment, it’s the perfect way to spend quality time together this spring.
