Roll Up, Roll Up For The Christmas Circus at Sandwell Valley

 

Christmas at the Valley is receiving a record number of visitors this year with ticket sales up by more than 25 per cent compared to last year.

Due to the popularity of the event, Sandwell Council has released more tickets and are now offering families the chance to just see the circus.

Tickets cost £5 each for children and adults, under twos under 2s are free. There’s also a family ticket for £20 for up to five people.

The circus only tickets can be bought for performances on weekdays at 4.30pm until Tuesday 19 December. Families are advised to book online then head to the big top with their e-ticket.

Cabinet member, Councillor Paul Moore is pleased with the success of the event so far. He said: “It’s great the event is proving popular with visitors coming from as far as Wales to experience Christmas at the Valley.

“We’ve had some great feedback from families who have visited and the circus has gone down really well.

“We know not everyone will want to see Santa so offering tickets to circus performances on their own will mean more families will be able to see this fantastic performance.

The circus is just part of what is on offer at Christmas at the Valley. Families can also visit Santa’s grotto, see the reindeer and take part in Christmas crafts. There’s festive food and drinks, a small funfair, a Christmas shop and a treasure hunt.
