An east London circus troupe will be bringing its latest show - about hope, arrival, and community - to Barnet.

The Revel Puck Circus will perform its newest production, A Glimmer Daze Gambit, at Oak Hill Park from May 7 to 17.

The stop is part of the company’s debut 200-day UK tour under its signature Chapiteau tent.

The show follows characters Stella and Kit as they arrive at their dream home, a circus, and try to find their place in the troupe.

The performance explores themes of belonging through acrobatics and humour.

The Revel Puck Circus, based in east London, is known for its bold and theatrical style. The cast includes artists from London and around the world, including Argentina, the USA, Ethiopia, and Canada.

The largely non-verbal show uses mime, clowning, and acrobatics to tell its story. It is designed to be accessible for audiences of all ages and is especially welcoming to families with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).

A spokesperson said: "Audiences are welcomed into the world of the Revel Pucks and leave with a new spring in their step, a glint in their eye and a prickle of mischief on their skin."
