Circus SEN Performance
The award winning John Lawson’s Circus will be hosting a circus performance for children with Special Educational Needs (SEN) and their families this May half term.
With an entirely human cast and lots of new acts, this enthralling show is a great family experience not to be missed!
The big top will have a lower capacity (half our usual capacity) and quieter music for each acts performance. There will be no flashing lights or strobes, no smoke or water however as part of the show the big top will be in darkness prior to the start of some of the acts. Please also note that the show usually features some gentle audience participation, with visitors closer to the front tending to be chosen for this!
We hope these adaptations will enable those families with SEN children to enjoy the show, however please make your own judgements based on your individual needs as to whether these measures make it more suitable for you.
Visitors will be required to show proof of ID for carers on arrival. Please email enquiries@milletsfarmcentre.com if you require a space for a wheelchair as these can be reserved, subject to availability.

Thursday 30th May
Show time 3pm
Each show lasts approximately 1 hour
