Win family tickets to Billy Smart’s Circus

The world famous Billy Smart’s Circus is coming to Brighton’s Preston Park on Tuesday 21 May, pitching tent until Sunday 2 June, with matinee and evening performances.

The family show contains the very best of glittering circus ingredients from daring high flyers to skillful tumblers, jugglers and clowns.

Among the thrilling line-up in the British-owned Big Top are the Flying Aces on the High Trapeze and sensational teen act Desiree Chavez, who has to fire a bow and arrow with her feet while balancing upside-down on her hands supported on metal struts.

For balletic grace on a rope high above the ring, the show also boasts Josie on ‘aerial silks’, while Alex the Fireman performs a Laurel-and-Hardy-style routine on a flaming ladder – except this act’s for real.

Billy Smart’s began as a humble coconut shy just after the Second World War and went on to entertain the Queen for her Silver Jubilee in 1977, performing to more than 20 million viewers on prime-time telly.

Back now for its first full national tour in more than 30 years, the artistes have to train daily in rigorous routines akin to those of top-class athletes in order to wow the crowds in the heated 1,500-seater Big Top.

And Latest 7 can transport four lucky families there. We have four family tickets to give away, each worth more than £80 to take two adults and up to three children to the circus performance of your choice.
