BRAINTREE VILLAGE TO HOST BIG KID CIRCUS THIS MARCH
For the very first time, Braintree Village will be hosting Big Kid Circus, offering guests a thrilling experience for the whole family to enjoy.
The big top will be adjacent to the top of the North Car Park and is set to open to the public from Wednesday 13th March until Sunday 24th March. Offering guests the perfect activity come rain or shine, it will be the first time in its history that Braintree Village has offered guests a circus experience.
The talented performers will put on a spectacular show called ‘Illumination’, guaranteeing thrills, excitement, and laugh-out-loud moments throughout the two-hour show. What’s more, it includes the first ever all-female ‘Globe of Death’ performance in Europe. This iconic act features a group of talented female riders who defy gravity and fear as they whirl inside a mesh globe at top speeds on motorcycles.
Spectators can continue their family day-out in one of Braintree Village’s eateries, as well as browsing more than 75 premium brands offering up to 60% off RRP.
