🎪 Circus Cortex, April 2026 - Hertfordshire Showground


Time: 17:00

🎪 Step into the world of BIZZZAR, where gravity is optional, laughter is mandatory, and every moment defies expectation at Hertfordshire Showground.

🤩 WHAT TO EXPECT
This is no ordinary circus. BIZZZAR is a wild, high voltage mash up of comedy chaos, jaw dropping stunts, and kaleidoscopic visuals that burst across the stage like a firework finale. One minute you are gasping at daredevil acrobatics, the next you are doubled over in laughter from absurd antics and physical comedy turned up to eleven.

Each act is louder, bolder, and more unpredictable than the last. It is colourful, it is chaotic, it is utterly unmissable.

♿️ WHEELCHAIR INFORMATION
We have a separate ground level entrance for wheelchairs.

We want everyone to come and enjoy our show. If you need assistance then we are here to help. Please ring the Box Office if you need help on the day, this way we can make sure that there is someone on hand to assist you.
