About this party

Saturday 19th December

Roll up, roll up… the final show of the season is about to begin. Step beneath the lights of the Big Top and join us for the grand finale of Durham Cricket’s Christmas Circus, where festive celebrations meet the nostalgic fun of the fairground.

Guests will enjoy a delicious three-course festive feast, before the music rises and the dancefloor comes alive with our resident DJ keeping the party going long into the night. But no circus would be complete without a little friendly competition…

Throughout the evening, try your luck at a selection of classic funfair side stalls. Take aim at the Coconut Shy, test your skill at the Ring Toss, tackle the Mega Buzz Wire, beat the 10 Second Challenge, or try your hand at the timeless Coin Toss and Duck Shoot.

Whether you’re embracing your competitive side or simply soaking up the festive atmosphere, A Night Under the Big Top promises a celebration filled with laughter, music and carnival charm.

So gather your friends, raise a glass and step into the spotlight for the spectacular finale of Durham Cricket’s Christmas Circus.
