The James Richards Circus will be making its annual visit to the Rutland Showground this October half-term, and you can win tickets with Oakham Town Council.

The team, headed up by Marymay and James Richards, are bringing a brand new show to audiences in Rutland as they get ready to visit the last venue of their 2023 tour this month.

Marymay and James first toured their own circus in 2018. With an emphasis on quality and value, they improve and polish the show each year while promising to always maintain the intimacy of its small size.

While this year's show is bursting with new acts and talent, the team promise that they "haven't strayed from our mandate of providing fantastic family orientated live entertainment at affordable prices."

Performances will take place from Wednesday 25 to Sunday 29 October, coinciding with half-term, promising affordable family fun while the schools are out.

In anticipation of the popular show rolling back into town, Oakham Town Council are giving away a set of tickets to one lucky winner.

The competition is open until 22 October, and you can enter by commenting on the Oakham Town Council post shared on Facebook:

James Richards concluded: "Each year we say this is our best show yet but we have definitely topped the bill with our 2023 production climaxing in an act that has to be seen to be believed."

"See you at the Showground!"
