The circus comes to Port Douglas

Lennon Bros Circus is the oldest touring circus in Australia.  It was started 155 years ago as a 'Buckjump' Show and has evolved into the sophisticated circus presentation seen today.

 

The circus is currently run by the fifth generation brothers Geoff and Warren with fifth and now sixth generations of the family represented in the shows.  Lennon Bros Circus is one of only two circuses in Australia with Big Cats in their shows.  The three lions featured are four years old and they were born and bred in the circus, in fact they are twelfth generation born in Australia. 

 

Other animals in the show include Liberty horses, monkeys, camels, llamas, geese and dogs and lets not forget that they also employ 30 people ranging from 3yrs old to 65yrs old. And they still have traditional clowns and even those glorious men and women of the flying trapeze. if traditional circus is your thing then it doesn't get much better than this.

 

The box office is alongside Reynolds Park in Davidson Street.
Shows are on Thursday 22nd April starting at 7:00pm, Friday 23rd April starting at.7:00pm, two shows on Saturday 24th April starting at 4:00pm & 7:00pm.  Last show on Sunday 25th April at 2:00pm.
