Traditional circus tent.

Used for many shows, Renegade, BYJotY, Circus School Showcase, Kendama competition plus aerial and acro workshops.

Some BJCs choose to fit seating and have a capacity of around 400, others chose to have no seating and increase the capacity.

They have been supplied in the past by Cirque Normandie, Swamp circus, NoFit State circus, Croissant Neuf and Muffin Marquees.

It's also worth asking Circus Ferrell.

In the introduction to many shows the compère will use the words "please don't piss on the tent".
Some men have a habit of walking outside for a piss and looking for a wall to piss against use the tent. It's a deeply unpleasant task to jet wash a big top after use when it has been used as a urinal.
