WHAT’S ON
We are delighted to be involved with Kings Lynn Summer Circus, an extravaganza of free circus events for all the community from 24th August until 4th September 2022. The festival will boast a programme of events packed full of family workshops and community events, sensational street performances and breath-taking big top shows.
The big top (2nd – 4th September) will play host to our 5-star production Hotel Paradiso (2nd – 3rd September) in which a formidable cast of 6 highly skilled acrobats, clowns and jugglers tell the story of a group of fearless tenants and their battle to save their home and livelihood. Displaying a colourful mix of daring circus skills, physical comedy and theatre, Hotel Paradiso also features a specially written musical score by renowned circus Musical Director and multi-instrumentalist, Peter Reynolds.
Other highlights of the programme include the Kings Lynn Community Spectacular (4th September) and the Q40 Circus Cabaret (3rd September) a brand-new collaboration between Lost in Translation and Italian theatre company Ondadurto Teatro, featuring fresh contemporary circus skills and quirky comperes to get you in the mood for an evening of astonishing entertainment. The dynamic programme of performances will be complemented by a series electrifying free events, this includes drop-in circus workshops in the town centre (24th – 31st August), making it the perfect way to soak up the last of the summer sunshine with all the family.
King’s Lynn Summer Circus is supported by Arts Council England and is a collaboration between Lost in Translation, Kings Lynn and West Norfolk Borough Council, Creative Arts East, and Alive Corn Exchange. The programme of events in the town centre is backed by Discover Kings Lynn and Vancouver Quarter.
This is a free event, but big top performances are ticketed and patrons are required to book ahead.
