I hope you don't find one. Circuses and animal cruelty go hand in hand. Is there nothing else that amuses you?
It's 2009, try and drag yourself into the modern world!

I was going to suggest Cirque du soleil but they finish in February... Zippos is in Stevenage and Birmingham

You could have a hunt round this site (I think there's an information line)

Otherwise it's Oxford or Piccadilly circuses...

Gourmander, i am 19 years old, i am doing an art course and my title is the circus, i dont have a choice. i agree with you about animal cruelty being in the circus, i am very against this also, but its not something i would enjoy watching, i need to take photos of the tents and colours.

real old fashioned circus are never in Central London, they are on the outskirts of big towns and move around appox every two weeks, they dont have a permanent site. I dont know if they go to winter quarters for the cold weather and re start around Easter I think they do, I havent seen any circus advertised in Essex lately. or East London.good luck with your search,

Sorry squidgy, I thought you were one of those people who don't see anything wrong with animals in circurses. Glad you take a different view. Hope you find what you need for your course. x
