Purple Mermaid is experienced in providing live, circus-skills entertainment for young and student audiences at affordable rates. We are based in Birmingham (UK).

We are the first choice for juggling, fire-displays, etc, for societies and halls associated with the University of Birmingham. We maintain this status by offering unbeatable value and an instinctive understanding for what works, based on much experience and a natural empathy (most of us are students ourselves!).

what can you do?

Pretty much anything with a circus theme: Juggling, Unicycling, Stilt-walking, Poi, Balloon-modelling, face-painting, magic, Diablo, Devil-stick and Fire-stuff. You name it.

how much do you cost?

It depends on what you want. In any case, give us a try. We offer excellent value. We tend to offer a two-tier system, either taking on 'goodwill' gigs for fun or taking on properly paid gigs at a negotiated rate. For the extra money you get reliable, tailored, near-professional entertainment (rather than a random assortment of circus dudes turning up on a whim).
