The Moscow State Circus comes to Bristol from 8 to 18 October 2015
Posted on: 08 Oct 2015Roll up, roll up…the circus is in town! As the world’s most famous circus, The Moscow State Circus is the premier event of its kind. The big-top is up and ready to welcome visitors to The Downs in Bristol.
The show itself is awe inspiring. Featuring the world’s very best performers, you will witness stunts and feats that defy belief. The whole show is garnished with humour, so not pretentious or intimidating, and really welcomes visitors of all ages – there’s something for everyone. This year the show is named 'Zhelaniy'. It’s based on the Russian folklore story of Cvetik-Semicvetik, or "the flower with seven colors", by Benjamin Losin. Each of the petals represents a wish and is the perfect backdrop for what is undoubtedly the greatest and most famous circus on earth.
