This October, the James Richards Circus will be returning to Rutland Showground, with tickets starting from £7.

The James Richards Circus is a family orientated, all human circus that has been running for 4 years. The family has roots in showbusiness dating back as far as the 1800's, so they certainly have showbiz in the blood! The JRC team bring their circus to life at over 30 venues a year and the whole family work hard to make the show a spectacle.

This year, they will be heading to Oakham in time for the October half term.

Shows are scheduled as follows:

• Wednesday and Thursday, 6pm
• Friday, 3pm and 6pm
• Saturday, 2pm and 5pm
• Sunday, 2pm

These will be the final shows of the season for the team, so promise to be a cracking celebration of the family circus.

The team said: "Our final venue of the season is Oakham!

"We are pleased to be returning to the Rutland Showground with a brand new show. This is a popular venue, so we advise booking quickly for our special offer performances spread through the week.

"This year's programme features a whole host of new acts with some unique to our show in 2023!

"We look forward to seeing you at the Showground across half term."

Tickets are already available online.

On top of offering weekday discounts, the team have signed up to the new Shop and Support Rutland Loyalty Card scheme, meaning that members can get £8 tickets for the weekend shows.
