THE Big Kid Circus has arrived in Wirral for a five-day special show.

The big top will pitch up at The Dips on Coastal Road in New Brighton from today Wednesday, February 21 until Sunday, February 25.

Weekday performances will take place at 3pm and 7pm. On Saturday there will be performances at 1pm, 4pm and 7pm and 12pm and 3pm on Sunday.

The show this year is entitled Illumination, which is a brand-new show for 2024 that the organisers promise will keep audiences on the edge of their seats.

Among the stars of the show are the dynamic twin brothers from Mexico, Rolando and Matrakita, stepping into the oversized shoes of the beloved clowns before them. Eager to bring their unique flair and infectious energy, these Mexican maestros are set to captivate fans with their hilarious antics and heartwarming performances.

A spokesperson for The Big Kid Circus said: “Big Kid Circus 2024 proudly boasts a truly diverse ensemble of performers hailing from every corner of the globe.

“From the vibrant streets of Mexico to the majestic plains of Tanzania, the rich cultural tapestry of Ethiopia, the rhythm-filled beaches of Brazil, and beyond – this year's cast is a testament to the universal language of circus that knows no boundaries.”
