We are an independent circus production company based in the UK, delivering interactive, mixed-scale, indoor and outdoor contemporary shows for all ages; comprised of aerial spectaculars and ground-level performances on eye-catching custom structures that include zip lines, hydraulics, moving props, and various FX.

Our artists range from aerialists and wire-walkers to parkour artists and dancers, as well as gifted poets and music producers to help tie our shows together.

Gorilla Circus was born in 2009 from the vision of a former flying trapeze artist on a mission to innovate, improve, and create new varieties of spectaculars that tell important stories of real world issues, with unique structures on which to set the magic.

A few years later and here we are! A passionate micro-team, working hard to deliver beautiful, thought-provoking, contemporary circus shows for all ages.

Our structures are as much a character and part of the show as the performers are, and are adaptable to suit the production requirements and budget of each event.

In 2022 we were made a generous NPO grant offer by Arts Council England, which we are excited to be applying into activities at our base in Fenland and beyond.
