The joyful contemporary circus show comes to Oak Hill Park next week

The Revel Puck Circus lands in Barnet with its brand new production A Glimmer Daze Gambit, pitching the big top at Oak Hill Park, Parkside Gardens, East Barnet EN4 8JP from Friday 8th May to Sunday 17th May 2026.

Part of the company’s first ever large scale touring season, A Glimmer Daze Gambit is a joyful contemporary circus show about hope, arrival and community. Follow Stella and Kit as they finally reach their dream home, a circus.

Desperate to join the troupe and having never seen a circus before, they’ve packed everything they think they might need. What follows is a mischievous ride where mistakes become magic and belonging is built together.

Expect a high octane, story led big top experience with world class acrobatics and bold theatricality. This is contemporary circus with a warm welcome and a playful sense of connection, with light fourth wall moments and audience participation that is always optional.

What to expect:

Performance times:

Running time: 100 minutes including a 20 minute interval.

Age guidance: All ages.

Access and relaxed performances: Revel Puck Circus is committed to accessibility. All performances are semi relaxed, meaning audiences are welcome to move, take breaks, and re enter with front of house support.

The show is largely non verbal and conveyed through mime, clowning and acrobatics, making it a brilliant gateway cultural experience for audiences of all ages and particularly welcoming for families with special educational needs and disabilities.

Please note there is haze, loud music, occasional loud bangs, and flashing lights (no strobe). Step free access is available. Any audience participation is optional.
