Step right up and prepare to be transported back in time with Big Kid Circus: Jurassic — the most thrilling and imaginative production in the UK circus calendar for 2026! Celebrating the company’s 21st UK touring season, Jurassic is a spectacular new circus adventure that blends breathtaking performance, cutting-edge effects, and prehistoric theatrical wonder in a two-hour live experience that will exhilarate audiences of all ages.
From the moment you enter the big top, Jurassic promises an unforgettable journey into a world where dinosaurs roam alongside circus performers. The show’s standout spectacle is its 28-foot-wide Dinosaur, the first of its kind on the UK circus stage — a show-stopping creation designed to awe both children and adults alike as it soars through the stage and immerses into a world of pre-historic grandeur.
At its heart, Big Kid Circus: Jurassic tells a story of survival and hope. With Theodore, a brave scientist helping dinosaurs to survive in the cruel modern world. Along side him, his talented dinosaur trainer and hilarious Clown, Theodore is faced with unimaginable challenges. His evil nemesis Sabrina is ready to take over his laboratory and steal the dinosaur eggs for her evil plan of taking over the world. Will the dinosaurs face extinction once more? Or will Theodore make sure to give them a second chance at life? You’ll have to find out.
This year’s production brings together an extraordinary cast of performers from around the world, showcasing their vibrant and diverse talents in a non-stop programme of high-energy acts. Expect jaw-dropping acrobatics that defy gravity, with aerial artists twisting, flipping and flying above the audience, contortionists bending the limits of human flexibility in displays of precision and artistry. And of course, the first and only all-female motorcycle riders of the Globe of Death in Europe, taking the stage to help Theodore reach his dreams.
But that’s just the beginning. Jurassic also features stunning live vocals and dynamic dance routines that add rhythm and drama to the performance, creating an atmosphere that pulses with excitement from start to finish. The show blends intense action with delightful entertainment — laugh-out-loud comedy, colourful characters, and crowd-pleasing and interactive moments that ensure there’s something to delight all audiences.
Jurassic isn’t just about dinosaurs. It’s about bringing everyone together, inspiring wonder, and creating lasting memories. Whether it’s the gasp of amazement as a performer executes a flawless trick, the roar of laughter at a comedic bit, or the crowd’s collective awe at the sight of the towering dinosaur animatronics, every moment feels alive with magic.
Big Kid Circus: Jurassic offers a two-hour celebration of imagination, artistry, and adventure. It’s a show designed to captivate the young and the young at heart — an unforgettable experience under the big top that blends heart-pounding thrills with family-friendly spectacle. Don’t miss the chance to see this bold, daring and delightfully fun production as it tours the UK in 2026 — Jurassic truly is circus entertainment like you’ve never seen before!
