CELEBRATING a quarter of a century of the modern circus, Jay Miller’s circus will mark this anniversary by bringing its tour to Basingstoke.

And to park the occasion it will be year of firsts for the circus.

For the first time with Jay Miller’s Circus, we have Aerial Artistry from Duo Passione, Foot-Juggling from Miss Larysa. On the bouncing trampoline: Temur from Kiev and from France, the Lord of the lasers, Florian.

There are returns from the Ukraine with all new from Duo Vakal and the Gorgeous Miss Paige graces aloft as the Girl in the Globe.

Not to be forgotten and back by popular demand, is the lovable, madcap and zany clown, Peppi.

Jay Miller’s Circus will come to Basingstoke from Tuesday, 16 October to Sunday, 28 October, with showings at 5pm and 7pm on October 16 to 19; 3pm and 7pm on October 22 to 26, with performances at 11am, 2pm and 5pm on Saturdays and 11am and 2pm on Sundays.
