The show, laced with spooky surprises and Halloween mischief, presents a line-up of artists including amazing acrobats and acrocats. From France, and for the first time in the UK, Zippos presents Roseline and her talented family of rescue cats in a feline display high on natural agility, balance, comedy and cuteness.

Also, on the four-legged front is the incredible horsemanship of Boris Borissov with his stunning pure white larger-than-life horses.  And not to be outdone, human skills feature aplenty in the new show, including eye-popping thrills from Brazilian Alex Michael, one of the few trapeze artists in the world who works without a safety net high above the circus ring; Toni with his nail-biting knife-throwing routine and the Duo Galaxy from Germany with their terrifying Wheel of Death – firm favourites at Hyde Park Winter Wonderland.

On the lighter side, visitors can enjoy comic antics from new Italian clown Mr Lorenz, the unique comedy style of Alex the Fireman; tumbling from Kenya; foot juggling from Italian beauty Romy, all hosted by Norman Barrett MBE – Ringmaster extraordinaire with his cheeky performing budgerigars.
