SCOTLAND'S Favourite Circus stages show’s at Glasgow’s Victoria Park until this Sunday (July 1), as part of the Scottish leg of their UK tour.

Gold brings you an action-packed two hours where you can expect the unexpected from a troupe that presents the very best of both traditional and contemporary circus, and who take their skills to the limit, wowing audiences with their passion and physical prowess.

Circus champions from Africa, Argentina, France, Japan, the Ukraine, Brazil and the United Kingdom combine with a dazzling display both in the air and on the ground in this latest show hosted as always by the “World’s Greatest Ringmaster”, Norman Barrett MBE.

New to Zippo’s this year are the Delbosq Clowns from France, Emil and Andrea,

Yasmine Smart has new routines for her Liberty and Dressage Horses that feature in a sensational new production built around pulsating drum rhythms and modern rock anthems plus the beat of the Bolas that echo the pounding of hooves in the sawdust.

From Africa, The Kenyan Boys of African Hip-Hop dancers, acrobats and tumblers providing a touch of Swahili Nishati (strength) in their amazing pyramid building and eye-watering limbo.

From the Ukraine, and to be seen for the first time anywhere, Anya has a unique modern approach to juggling from within a Perspex and steel triangle and even fire is juggled.

For the hottest finale, the jaw-dropping Brazilian Lucius Team and their motorbikes are back by popular demand for The Globe of Death, to provide the best adrenaline rush you can get as a spectator.
