What Our Visitors Say

How did we do?

"When I say Isaac belly laughs, he really does. We try to attend social activities but it can be very challenging for Isaac as he suffers huge anxiety but once he is settled in for your shows I see the happiest boy come to life. I see him taking part, singing and signing and I love to watch him roar with laughter so much that I end up missing half of the show myself."

Claire, Mum (Walsall)

"A super show! I wouldn't hesitate to go again or recommend it to someone else in my families situation. For the audience you are aiming at you have it down to a fine art."

Cath, Mum (Colchester)

"Your show always means so much to our families who are often in a sad and stressful time in their lives; you lighten hearts and provide a much-needed distraction from daily worries and concerns."

Barnardo's Midlands

“For some of our members, it is not always possible to attend activities as a whole family, but this is one event they know that they can”

Shine (Peterborough)

“Circus Starr is the perfect balance of excitement in a safe, inclusive environment.”

Laura Patterson, Mum (Dartford)

"Great event where everyone was accepted and the use of BSL was excellent. It gave people the chance to enjoy excellent circus arts when they may not have been able to attend a 'regular' circus - Thank you!"

Sali, Mum (Llandudno)

"My son absolutely loves all the acts, but most of all the clowns are his favourite and have never failed to make him smile and laugh every year. He truly comes to life and his sparkle shines through so thank you all for all that you do and please know we are so grateful for these opportunities. Please thank all your sponsors who also make these beautiful moments possible."

Claire, Mum (Walsall)

"The staff are kind, accommodating and understanding so everyone can just forget their worries under the magical spell of the starry canopy"

Down Syndrome Support Group (Huddersfield)

"For about the past 4 years now we have gone to Circus Starr and it's always been amazing, it's one of the only things my son likes to do/go to, he's blind and autistic as well as many other disabilities but he loves Circus Starr."

Samantha, Mum (Stoke)

"Circus Starr is a superb organisation with which Dilitas has been honoured to be connected with for several years. The simple process of bringing disadvantaged children and families together for the excitement and fun of the circus is an exceptional idea. Circus Starr needs and deserves all the help and support it can get and we have been delighted to help."

Christopher Cully, Managing Director of Dilitas Ltd

"It isn't always easy to find an event that caters for families where there is a child with a disability / additional needs."

Children and Young People's Disability Partnership (Stockport)

“The big top is filled with laughter from everyone. This is what inclusive really means, people, pulling together to spread joy and happiness."

"Circus Starr allows our Young Carers to attend an activity with their families, which they don't often get to do. It's a chance for them to have a break from caring."

Young Carers (Bristol)

"Live performance is a fantastic experience especially for young people with Autism as no language is required so it is very accessible."

National Autistic Society (Cardiff)
