Talking Tuesday – Explore, Discover, Discuss
Each month, Talking Tuesday brings you a fascinating topic, delving into local history, global adventures, and stories that spark curiosity. Join us for an engaging afternoon of learning, conversation, and connection at The Beacon Museum.
Roll up, Roll up! Take your seats in the Portal to experience the magic that only the Circus can bring! Be transported through 100 years of Whitehaven’s hidden history of visiting Showmen and Performers, Menageries and spectacular Equestrian Shows.
Hear about a Death in the Circus in Mr. Ord’s Amphitheatre, Van Amburgh’s One-Day Only Processional of Wild Beasts, Mr. Powell’s New Olympic Circus and Wombwell’s Immense Zoological Collection that required 45 horses to pull it!
Not forgetting the mile-long train that brought Buffalo Bill into town, and of course George Biddall’s Phantasmagorical Machine – the Ghost of which still haunts the third floor of the Beacon itself…
Discover the circus magic! Prepare to be amazed! Expect the unexpected! A world of wonder awaits - Let the show begin!
