Circus Fiesta Is Coming to Billing Aquadrome This Summer

Circus Fiesta is rolling back into Billing Aquadrome with a brand-new 2026 show, and it looks like exactly the kind of afternoon out that keeps everyone entertained — big kids, little kids and the grown-ups too.

What is Circus Fiesta?

Circus Fiesta is an all-new production for 2026, bringing a one-hour, non-stop circus spectacular to the Big Top at Billing Aquadrome. Expect comedy, breathtaking aerial feats, acrobatics and dance, all performed in an intimate, theatre-style setting that keeps you close to the action. There’s no interval, so it’s worth grabbing your drinks and snacks on the way in.

Dates and Times

Circus Fiesta runs at Billing Aquadrome from Saturday 18th July to Monday 31st August 2026 (which is the August Bank Holiday). Performances take place at 12noon and 4pm every day, with no shows on Fridays.

Venue: Billing Aquadrome Holiday Park, Crow Lane, Great Billing, Northampton, NN3 9DA

Below, five category icons highlight Childminders & Nurseries, Kids Classes & Clubs, Family Services, Health & Wellbeing, and Parties & Events, alongside a checklist noting 'Local & Trusted,' 'Hundreds of Listings,' 'Covering Northamptonshire,' and 'Free to Find & Contact.' A 'Visit the Directory' button appears at the bottom, alongside the Northants Families logo and the tagline 'The Northamptonshire Family Directory.'

Relaxed Performances (SEN)

There are two relaxed performances built into the run, designed for anyone who benefits from a calmer environment — including children with autism, sensory or communication needs, or a learning disability. These shows have lower music levels, no loud bangs or jumps, and the lights stay on throughout. They’re open to everyone, not just those who need them, so they’re also a lovely gentle way to introduce a first-time circus-goer to the experience.

  • Wednesday 29th July at 12noon
  • Sunday 9th August at 4pm

Ticket Prices

Tickets start from £9.99, with a small booking fee added at checkout:

  • Grandstand: £9.99 per seat
  • Family ticket (4 persons): £33.99
  • VIP Ringside (limited availability): £12.99 per seat

Children under 2 don’t need a ticket. One really important change from previous years — you now have to book in advance, so this isn’t one you can just turn up to on the day. Tickets are non-refundable once purchased, so do double-check you’ve picked the right date and time before confirming.

  • Printed tickets speed up entry, but you can also show tickets on your phone if you don’t have a printer
  • Need to change your date or time? Email boxoffice.circustickets@gmail.com with your booking reference, name, number of tickets, and current and preferred dates

If you’re heading to Billing Aquadrome for the circus anyway, it’s also worth knowing there’s a hidden waterfall tucked away nearby in Billing — a lovely free spot to stretch your legs before or after the show.
