Set in the beautiful East Sussex country side within the grounds of Knockhatch Adventure Park, the Big Top is a traditional circus arena, ideally suited for gala dinners, performances, team away days, social events and wedding receptions. This private setting is an ideal social space that offers an alternative and fun canvas for you to express your event in a different way. Why not try your hand at circus skills and also book our circus workshop or we can provide a bespoke performance as an add-on to your event?

We provide only a handful of weddings a year in the summer season so that we can work closely with couples to create the wedding they wish for

A superb venue for my daughters wedding reception. Renato the owner, his wife Stacey, his mum Anna & his staff were amazing. They were all so friendly, kind, understanding, obliging and wanted to make it one of the best days of her life. Nothing was too much trouble. The facilities ticked so many boxes. Plenty of space inside & out to offer a reception, inside a stage for a band, room to dance, ice cream bar, a photobooth & a drinks bar. Outside for carnival games, bouncy castle & a helter skelt
