Meet Jazz

Isn’t he cute? Say hello to Jazz, our adorable new foal. He was born about a month ago and is doing really well. He shadows his mum everywhere, and looks incredibly cute running around - all spindly legs and awkward jumps. He’s just drinking his mum’s milk at the moment, but we’ve spotted him copying her and trying to eat the grass - which isn’t much use really, as his teeth haven’t come up yet so he can’t really chew!

He’s really friendly and inquisitive and will run over to you and try to nibble your trousers as he passes by.

Costumes are, of course, massively important to circuses. They are valuable assets that add to the atmosphere and mood of each performance. Every artist has a wardrobe of show costumes, many custom made and bought at various stages along their travels. The dancers have a colourful collection of stone and sequin-adorned costumes and headpieces, and have around four costume changes per show.
