EXPECT the unexpected when you take a seat under the Silvers Big Top.
From breathtaking stunts to amazing skills, magic and illusions, comedy and the unexpected – it’s all about family fun at the circus when Silvers Big Top sets up at the Lilydale Showgrounds on 11 June.
In a time of electronic and computer generated entertainment, the thrill and excitement of living, breathing, risk-taking live talent and skilled performers is hard to beat.
It’s action from start to finish with beautiful women high in the air and the fabulous talents of the African 4 Stars giving an impressive display of acrobatics and strength. Hoola hoop twirling, wire walking, balancing, juggling … it’s all there, live under the yellow and white Silvers Big Top.
Hold on to the edge of your chair as the Phoenix Riders enter the Big Top and ride into the four-metre round ‘Globe of Death’. There is no room for errors as the three riders cross over and under each other at a cracking pace, with only only millimetres to spare.
Silvers, an amazing circus spectacular will be in Lilydale from 11 to 21 June. Phone 0418 220044 for more information on times and ticket prices.
