Fairground street: stalls, tents and games for the Circus event
Imagen
The heart of the Circus themed event is a fairground street set up inside the venue itself. Each stall or tent has a game of your choice and a host who runs it.
- Circus stalls: we have 9 units, which can be branded with the client's image.
- Fair tents of 346 × 300 × 300 cm, also with a game included.
- Fair mini games (190 × 70 cm): ducks, cans, frogs, balloons or archery; they can be booked without a stall.
- Attractions: high striker, funhouse mirrors (158 × 68 cm), giant buzz wire, double basketball, boxing machine and dunk tank.
Competition format: guests split into teams, each with a leader. At every station the host explains the game in 5 minutes and stamps the team card: one point for taking part and another for winning. At the end the points are counted and the winning team is crowned.

Circus themed event dress code
The dress code is optional, but it helps guests get into the atmosphere from the moment they arrive. Just mention it in the invitation, which can be designed as a vintage circus ticket:
- Classic circus inspiration: top hats, bow ties, long gloves, ringmaster jackets and stripes.
- Bright colours: red, white and gold, colourful scarves and outrageous wigs.
The photocall has clown noses, top hats and juggling balls for anyone who arrives without a costume.
Catering and fair carts for the Circus event
The catering follows the fairground spirit, served standing with stations spread around the venue. Every cart comes with a server for the booked time and needs a standard socket nearby.
- Sweet: popcorn, candy floss, toffee apples, waffles, chocolate fountain, candy bar and ice cream (about 50 per hour).
- Savoury: hot dogs, chips, nachos with cheese, pizzas or mini burgers (about 100 portions per hour).
- Drinks: a decorated beer bar or a bar with alcohol options for company events.
The popcorn and candy floss machines can sit on a fair stall, and the packaging is branded if the event is a brand activation.

Space, set-up and staff for the Circus event
The event works indoors and outdoors: halls, warehouses, marquees, gardens or open grounds. Outdoors it is wise to plan a backup marquee in case the weather changes.
- Space per attraction: high striker, table football or darts need about 2 × 2 m of clear space and a socket; the ball pit or claw machine, about 3 × 3 m.
- Access: the professional basketball game, mechanical bull or surf simulator do not fit in lifts or go up stairs; we need to know if there is a goods lift.
- Set-up: 2 to 4 hours depending on the amount of décor; for large formats, the day before.
- Staff: one host per game station, a server at each cart and, if booked, themed hostesses who welcome guests and guide the flow.
Around 80% of our events take place outside Barcelona: Madrid, Valencia, Seville, Málaga, Zaragoza or Bilbao.
Circus fair for town councils, shopping centres and communions
For all audiences
As well as the circus party for companies, this format shines in spaces open to the public. A circus fair for town councils and local festivals fills a square with stalls, artists and laughter, and works as well with families as with residents of all ages. A fairground street where nobody just watches.
In a shopping centre, stalls and stilt walkers draw visitors all weekend and keep them there longer. For family celebrations, a circus themed party for first communions and children's birthdays delights the little ones without boring the grown-ups. And if you want something more elegant, a vintage circus gala in red and gold turns the company dinner into a night in the big top. We bring it to Madrid, Valencia and all of Spain.
- Local festivals: a fairground street with games and artists that livens up the square all day.
- Shopping centres: prize stalls and circus entertainers to boost seasonal campaigns.
- Communions and birthdays: a smaller format with mini games, face painting and a candyfloss cart.
- Vintage circus galas: red and gold decoration, standing dinner and artist sets between courses.
