American circus opens in Skegness for half term

Uncle Sam's American Circus has set up its Big Top at the Burgh Road roundabout on the A158 near Burgh le Marsh.

The first show was on Friday and they run throughout the holidays until Sunday, November 1.

Ringmaster Paul Martinez says this circus is different to others because it is American themed, with the massive trucks a popular attraction as well as the acts from across the globe.

Once through the gates with the stars and stripes flags flying, audiences can expect non-stop action and laughter for the whole family.

The action-packed show is brand new for 2020

Paul said: "We are a traditional style circus without animals, with slapstick musical clowns, juggling, trapeze hair hanging springboard and the world famous thunderball riders in the giant globe.

"We are one of the UKs largest travelling circus with 14 plus acts."

Shows will run within Government guidelines , with hand sanitiser stations, a one-way system inside the big top, staggered seating for social distancing and all staff wearing face masks. The public are asked to wear face masks when walking around the big top. Once seated they can be removed. No more than six people from the same household can book at any one time.
