Returning to the Cotswold Playhouse in Stroud this summer 2025, Aylmers Circus brings its brand-new show, Dancing Queen, to audiences young and old in a celebration of the 70s!

From top tight-ropers to awesome acrobats, you'll be in awe of the astounding talents of the Aylmers Circus cast, featuring daring chair balancing, a mesmerising cyr wheel act and much more.

Starring the hilarious former Giffords Circus ring mistress, Nancy Trotter Landry, Dancing Queen is an unmissable showcase blending heartwarming and often humorous storytelling with breathtaking acrobatics and tests of flexibility and dexterity — with a touch of clowning, of course!

All set to a classic soundtrack of 70s hits, and plenty of sequins, Dancing Queen promises plenty of fun, laughter and escapism.

Founded by Harvey Aylmer, a theatrical producer and writer currently working towards his degree in theatre production, Aylmers Circus is a theatrical circus company celebrating the magic of childhood and the power of imagination to bring stories to life with a musical twist.

Dancing Queen takes place from Friday 4 until Sunday 6 July 2025, with performances taking place from 7.30pm on Friday; 11.30am, 2.30pm and 7.30pm on Saturday; and from 11.30am, 2.30pm and 5.30pm on Sunday.

Suitable for all ages, tickets to Dancing Queen performed by Aylmers Circus cost £22 per adult and £16 for under 16s — with children under two-years-old attending for free when seated on a paying adult's lap.
