PLEASE NOTE EVENTS ARE NEARLY FULL- DO NOT HESITATE TO BOOK

We believe in a world where anything is possible. We understand that attending mainstream events can be difficult for children with additional needs or families in difficult circumstances which is why we’ve created a tut-free zone; a show in which shouting out, dancing and jumping up and down are expected. At our circus, everyone is absolutely encouraged to let go of their worries, get involved, and be themselves.

What we do
We bring all the fun of the circus to children and families that may have found this difficult in the past. We know that a circus is a family event that brings everyone closer, encourages creativity and allows people to become stronger and more able to face life’s challenges head on. We tour the UK bringing the very best in circus talent from around the world and stage 148 incredible, animal-free shows every year.

Who we do it for
Children with disabilities, families on low incomes, those facing challenges such as domestic violence, bereavement or who may be living with a life-limiting condition. Every child, whoever they are, is free to be themselves at a Circus Starr Show – shout with joy, move to the music or appear centre stage!

Why we do it
We do it because nearly 1.5 million UK families can’t afford a single day out together. We do it because 50% of families with disabled children say that the stigma and discrimination they face makes them feel isolated. We create a magical world, harnessing the power of the circus and invite families with all kinds of different needs to have fun together in a safe, welcoming and unique atmosphere. In the Spring and Autumn Circus Starr can be experienced under the starry canopy of our big top; when winter makes accessibility more difficult, we perform indoors – using existing buildings during the colder and more unpredictable months means that we never disappoint our deserving audiences.

So, what we are is inclusive, exciting, non-judgemental, fun, accessible and magical and we bring all of this to you! Get excited, be excited and remember that excitement for years to come – we look forward to welcoming you.

The world’s longest established Queen tribute will be taking the stage by storm when it hits Motorpoint Arena Nottingham.

With frontman Patrick Myers behind the mic as the legendary Freddie Mercury, the band has been touring for over 25 years, bringing the legacy of Queen to life in a spectacular display. Killer Queen formed back in June 1993. Their first public shows were at London University, following in the footsteps of the real Queen who had played their first shows there 21 years earlier.

By 1995, Killer Queen’s UK popularity had grown to such an extent they secured a residency in London’s Strand Theatre attracting nationwide BBC coverage – the first tribute to have a show in the West End. The band’s reputation continued to grow both in the UK and abroad. In 1999, they returned from a tour of Europe and Russia for an awards ceremony in Leicester Square, hosted by Suggs from Madness. He announced they had won the award for ‘Worldwide Best Tribute Band’.

The band also scored a number one hit when they were asked to recreate Queen’s harmonies for ‘The Real Life’ with Fatboy Slim in 2001. Killer Queen toured into their second decade and the audiences grew. In 2005, they played Ahoy Stadium in Rotterdam, where the reformed Queen would be performing only a few months later.

The next year Killer Queen joined forces with Bjorn Again and The Bootleg Beatles for a Waverley Stadium show in Edinburgh. It was this performance that led to the band being selected to represent Queen in a re-staged tribute Live Aid concert held by Sir Bob Geldof. They performed with him at his arena charity concert to raise funds for the homeless.

The year 2009 saw a triumphant return to a sold out Ahoy stadium with their acclaimed ‘Queen Spectacular’ production and another award, this time from Sweden’s Vasteras concert hall for ‘Best Concert of The Year 2009’.

Killer Queen set their sights on America in 2016, including the awe-inspiring Red Rocks Arena in Colorado – one of the country’s most prestigious venues which has seen the likes of The Beatles, Springsteen and U2 playing there.

Lead singer Patrick Myers said: “It’s been an amazing journey. That first show back in June 1993 changed my life. We thought our band would last maybe a summer at the most but it’s a very addictive thing performing these songs! The concerts grew and grew, and we’ve ended up playing and selling out the same arenas that Queen played at their peak. It’s been quite a surreal ride.”
