SOLAS Eco Garden Centre – 4 Days of Daredevil Circus
The Circus @ SOLAS Portarlington
The big news is the arrival of DAREDEVIL Circus for 4 days at SOLAS. David Maher of SOLAS explains “DAREDEVIL is really about the best circus out there in terms of excitement and razzmatazz with flying motorbikes and crossbow wielding acrobats – it a long way from circuses of the past. It was the huge success of the ‘Spin City’ carnival last year that led to Courtney’s approaching us to host their event here. SOLAS is really building a reputation as an ideal location for family events such as the Circus and the carnival. It really plays to our strengths as we have a 5 site, which means we have sufficient space to allow the events to setup and still have over 200 car parking spaces for our customers. The fact the entire site is set on a stone yard means that ground conditions are ideal regardless of the weather.”
