Weihnachtscircus Hannover

Spectators enjoy an international circus showcase staged inside a heated big top designed without interior masts for unobstructed views from every seat. The program features chair-stacking balance acts, club juggling, aerial strap artistry, roller-skating stunts, magic illusions, and choreographed dance formations alongside comedic clowning. Audience members can also cast their votes via app or paper ballot to help select the winner of the artist competition.

  • Keep your coat or jacket with you because the circus has no cloakroom.
