Competitions: Win a choice of zippos Circus prizes!

Zippos Circus returns to Hove Lawns next month, pitching its big top near the King Alfred Centre from 21 Aug to 2 Sept. This year the circus is staging a new production promising two hours of high-energy acts from around the world.

The new show, Unchained, includes comedy from the famous Rastelli Clowns, thrilling aerial antics from Cuban acrobats the Tropicana Troupe and amazing feats of strength from Hercules the Ukraine strongman.


There’s also ballerinas, horses, jugglers and a human contortionist named ODKO or “the lady in the bottle” (pictured below left). The ringleader (and budgie trainer) is Norman Barrett MBE.

To win a ticket all you have to do is answer this question:

Hercules the strongman is named after a mythological hero which originated in which country?

We have a choice of prize for the winner: either a VIP family ticket plus a special model musical box big top (pictured right) – or a backstage tour and photo opportunity with Hercules himself, as well as a VIP ringside family ticket.

We also have five standard family tickets to give away as runner-up prizes.

All family tickets include entrance for two adults and two children.

To be in with a chance to win, email competitions@thelatest.co.uk with the name of the competition in the subject box and your answer to the question in the body of the email. Alternatively, write to us at the address at the front of the magazine. Don’t forget to give your name, address and telephone number.

Closing date for entries: Monday 11 August 2014.
