Circus Zyair, recognised as one of the UK’s leading circus troupes, will stage the 'Very Merry Circus' in a heated Big Top, delivering an energetic and festive show packed with acrobatics, daring stunts and colourful performances.

Audiences can expect a vibrant mix of world-class acts, traditional circus fun and a host of surprises for all the family. The circus event will run at selected times from Saturday, 21 November, through to Sunday, 3 January.

Standard tickets are £12.50 per person plus a booking fee, with Glasgow residents able to claim 10% off using code GXMAS26 online and by showing ID at the box office or when booking in person. Tickets can be bought here.

Jensen Taylor Connelly, Director of Scotland Theme Park Events, which organises Glasgow’s Winter Wonderland, said: “Although it’s still a few months away, we’ve been busy organising a new line-up of entertainment and attractions for this year, to bring together affordable family events.

“Circus Zyair are one of the UK’s leading performance groups, with world class artists and jaw dropping acrobatics and stunts, and we’re excited to have them on board. Visitors can look forward to new attractions this year which will be announced in the coming weeks.”

This year, the Winter Wonderland will be split between St Enoch (from Friday, 6 November to Sunday, 27 December) and Glasgow Green (from Friday, 20 November to Sunday, 3 January).
