THE circus is coming to Thurrock this weekend!

Uncle Sam's American Circus will be pitching its big top at Orsett Showground, with performances from Friday through until Sunday.

Uncle Sam's is a traditional family circus without animals and is described as suitable for all ages.

Performances are organised under strict social distancing guidelines – as is the booking office, which is open on site daily from 9.30am to 8pm. Call 07423131085 to reserve tickets then take the correct amount to pay for your tickets.

The circus asks that you collect your tickets throughout the day and not before the performance to reduce queues.
