Electric Circus

Eclectic dance beats and indie plus private rooms with karaoke for a unique clubbing experience.

Just like the traditional circus we have a lot going on in one very colourful and very exciting space. The only common theme is fun, and we work hard to ensure you leave with uplifting and happy memories of your visit to our very unique circus.

We have seven luxurious private karaoke rooms, a huge variety of acts on our live stage, unashamedly upbeat and light hearted club nights and a huge array of party options and relaxed classes to suit every occasion and any number of guests.

Text supplied by third party.
