Created in 2015, The Underbelly Circus Hub was the first ever major space dedicated to circus at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The venues names – Lafayette (550-seat big top) and Beauty (500-seat Spiegeltent) – have a deeper history and pay homage to Edinburgh’s great tradition of circus performance. Named in honour of two of history’s greatest circus performers and illusionists – The Great Lafayette, and his beloved performing dog Beauty. These remarkable venues celebrate the legacy of circus performance in Edinburgh, whilst providing state of the art spaces to host spectacular and technically ambitious circus work of a level that has never been seen before at the Fringe, right in the beating heart of the city.

Underbelly’s Head of Programming Marina Dixon said: “Circus Hub on the Meadows has become the home of the world’s most exciting Circus at the Fringe, presenting first class circus performers from all around the world. This year we welcome shows from Australia, Ethiopia, UK, Canada, Belgium and the USA.

“Featuring a mix of Fringe favourites returning home alongside some thrilling debuts, the programme features a huge variety of circus acts as well as music, cabaret and shows for children! From families to late night fringe revellers there truly is something for everyone. Join us at Circus Hub this August and prepare to be amazed!”
