A Las Vegas-based circus is marking 255 years thrilling audiences with a new tour - and they're coming to a south Essex shopping centre this spring.

Celebrating 255 years of breath taking performances, the Las Vegas-based circus is touring the country with a show brimming with talented performers from all over the globe.

Circus Vegas combines the extravagant traditions of Vegas with contemporary style, creating a packed show with every act poised to captivate audiences with acts ranging from the sensational high wire Duo Alambria to the incredible Didyk Troupe's acrobatic swing, both of which are making their UK debut.

The Circus Vegas is descending upon Lakeside Shopping Centre from March 27 to April 14.

A host of other acts including Hair Hanging, Diabolo manipulation, Hula Hoop, Skating, Juggling and a dancing troupe will perform with unique twists.

The approximate two-hour show is neatly packaged under a theatre-style Circus Big Top located in Lakeside The Quay.
