ZIPPO’S Circus will be starting off its 2014 national tour with a six-day stop-off at Merry Hill.

The circus will be bringing the big top back to the Westfield shopping centre from Thursday March 6 until Tuesday March 11 when it will present brand new production Unchained.

The show features 30 artistes including world record holding strongman Hercules and award-winning clown troupe, The Rastellis, who have delighted audiences around the globe.

Founder and owner Martin Burton said: “We go back each year to many of the same parks and open spaces but we never bring the same production two years running, we make a point of having a new and novel show each time, so people making an annual visit can be confident we’ll please them afresh.”
