FOOLS DELIGHT CIRCUS RETURNS WITH A THRILLING NEW SHOW ‘TYGER’ 22nd July - 2nd August - TICKETS ON SALE NOW. Artwork by @dannyanguish
“It’s a Confession.
Our new show is circus tale about the perilous path we walk between measure & might. It explores dichotomy; making and performing circus is a delicate dance of opposing forces, careful balance and explosive power.
It reflects on Blake’s enduring question of creation and we are examining ourselves as the agents of good and evil.
It’s a show of circus duos exploring the ‘fearful symmetry’ in all of us; with acrobatics, aerial dance, drag queens, fallen angels and fire & water acts. “
~ Lil Rice, Fools Delight Co-Founder

Fools Delight Circus is over the moon to welcome back @littlefinch.circus , who lit up our very first show in 2022, and now return to take centre stage in ‘Tyger.’
International headliners blending circus with couture, their signature aerial work, from net to hoop, delivers elegance, edge, and pure spectacle in equal measure.
Let's call it a reunion ❤️⚓️

“We make the show in less than two weeks, we have done it in four days before but that was tough. We exist entirely from our ticket sales so we have to keep our creation period short. It springs up, from tireless searching for beautiful moments, from a group of artists, some of whom have never met and from the alchemy of live music and live movements. And then it only really comes alive on the first night, when the audience sits downs and the lights come up and you’re standing behind the curtain waiting to go on” Lil Rice
Fools Delight new show Tyger runs from 22 July to 2 August at Ham Court, Bampton, Oxfordshire. The link to buy tickets is in our profile above 👆🏻

A peek behind the scenes, capturing the love, admiration, sweat and joy of creating and performing a circus show. The team are young, with boundless energy and creative spirit running through their veins. Some have met before, some know each other through reputation and some are completely new and welcomed into the company as if old friends. This year will be no different in this fast paced world of circus, which is why we’re addicted to it!

We’re delighted to welcome @wildartspresents Opera to Ham Court, Bampton, which is now blossoming into a vibrant countryside arts hub this summer.
To celebrate, @matthewricewatercolours has created a beautiful illustration capturing the spirit of what’s to come. With so many incredible shows gathered under one tent, we’re lovingly calling it a mini festival ‘The Ham Court Summer of Arts’.
A season of creativity, community, and unforgettable performances awaits with @foolsdelightcircus , @tweedyclown and @wildartspresents all at Ham Court.
