A Big Top for tiny tots is set to bring circus fun to Edinburgh
Big Tops & Tiny Tots Circus Show walks the tightrope between circus and education and is a non-stop whirlwind of plate-spinning, hula hooping and unicycling fun from Solid State Circus.
“There’s wonderful silliness, especially with a hat that just doesn’t want to co-operate and a suitcase that has its own ideas on where it should be going...” noted one critic.

After 50 minutes of fun, kids will be somersaulting out the door ready to set off on their very own circus adventures.
Big Tops & Tiny Tots has been made specifically for Early Years audiences, delivering lessons on teamwork, healthy eating and physical activity seamlessly integrated within the action.
The positive effects of Big Tops and Tiny Tots really do reach far beyond the show, as noted by one teacher who recorded, “Every time Luth has come to my kinder the children have raved about her for weeks after.
