Step into a frozen circus wonderland as Cirque Enchantment returns to Peterborough
It has been captivating audiences since 2017, and now Cirque Enchantment – the production with a unique blend of circus, music, and show-stopping performances – is returning on tour to Peterborough New Theatre in 2026.
Follow the journey of a young girl with a vivid imagination as she’s swept into a dazzling world of wonder and discovery, encountering an extraordinary cast of weird and wonderful characters along the way.
Visually spectacular and emotionally uplifting, Cirque Enchantment – which arrives in the city on February 19 – is the ultimate feel-good escape this winter.
Step into a frozen circus wonderland, where a talented cast of aerialists, thrilling fire performers, jaw-dropping acrobatics, jugglers and hula hoopers are combined with beautiful choreography and West End–quality live vocals.
Set to a powerhouse pop soundtrack featuring songs made famous by Take That, Kylie Minogue, Queen, Paloma Faith, Beyoncé Little Mix, Eurythmics and many more.
Powerhouse singer White Witch Enchantra Stephanie Lovett, says: “I absolutely love seeing the audience reaction when they realise how many multi-talented performers are on stage, aerialists and trapeze artists, dancers and singers, fire artists, contortionists, hoop artists, jugglers… everyone works together to bring the enchanted world to life!”
Acrobat Tasha Rushford agrees: “It really is a magical show as it blends so many performance elements. I get to perform all my favourite disciplines while also portraying a range of emotions, which keeps it exciting every single night. And honestly, it’s such a pleasure to work alongside such an insanely multi-talented cast."
Contortionist Ellie Lyes adds: “As a performer on the show one of the best things is being surrounded by such talented, humble people. Every single artist is incredible, and the energy is amazing. It’s one of the best casts, crews and creative teams I’ve ever worked with.”
Producer Stuart Glover (The SpongeBob Musical, Madagascar the Musical, An Audience with Anton du Beke, Firedance, Speakeasy, Everybody Dance, Backyard Cinema ) says; “we’re really excited to bring Cirque Enchantment back to the stage next year. It’s the perfect night out for the whole family, a show that will whisk you away on a magical and ethereal adventure and we can’t wait to see you there,
"It is an escape from reality, a fantasy fairytale fused with a pop concert, packed with brilliant music and daring physical excellence in both dance and circus performance. It’s pure spectacle from start to finish. It’s a real visual and musical feast for the senses. It brings together live vocals, world-class circus performers, dynamic dance and super glam costumes.
"The show is equally for adults as much as children and we have found audiences of every age have loved the show with kids aged five with their grandparents coming together to enjoy the show together!
" The show is timeless, with iconic pop music that audiences instantly connect to. But more than that, it’s about stepping into a fantasy world especially in the cold winter months - It’s a unique experience that never fails to lift the spirits. It feels really magical.”
As for his favourite part of the show, Stuart adds: “I always enjoy the fire moments they’re thrilling to watch and get such an incredible audience reaction. But I also love the rich blend of music throughout the show; there really is something for everyone. I want people to leave feeling like they’ve been transported somewhere magical and to have switched off from the everyday world for a couple of hours. That’s something I think we all need.”
