Circus Aotearoa, Waikato's own locally owned and operated touring circus, is back in Hamilton.

The big top is open for shows until June 2.

The unique Raglan-based animal-free circus hopes to bring a bit of wholesome entertainment to town and presents a show featuring a delightful and intriguing mix of traditional and modern human-based acts.

Circus Aotearoa promises great fun for all ages.

The show has a circus/theatrical format and is presented in a ring with the ringmaster introducing the stars featured in the 90-minute performance.

With a troupe of skilled young Kiwi artists performing a dizzying array of acts, including juggling, aerial net, hula hoops, trapeze, Chinese pole, clown routines, object manipulation, aerial hoop, magic, acrobatics and adagio.

"We try for a show with broad appeal and believe circus should be about fun, as well as being awe inspiring for the whole family," said ringmaster Damian Gordon.

Simple half- time concessions consist of fresh popcorn and hand-rolled candy floss, alongside drinks and lolly bags. In an effort to keep the costs of the show affordable there is no merchandising, souvenirs or fried food sold.
