Pablo Fanque's Fabulous Travelling Circus!

Roll up!! Roll up!! For Pablo Fanque's Circus Royal!! Grandest night of the season! And positively the last night but three!
Being for the benefit of Mr Kite & Mrs J Henderson,
On Tuesday evening, December 30, 1845.
Featuring Mr Fanque, the celebrated horse rider! Wire-dancer, vaulter, clown, etc.!
Mrs Henderson will, for this night only, introduce the celebrated horse, Zanthus! Well-known to be one of the best trained horses in the world!!!
Mr Fanque will undertake the arduous task of throwing 21 somersets on solid ground & introduce his extraordinary leaps & somersets! Over men & horses, and lastly through a hoop of real fire!
Ms Kite & Ms Kitty will appear, for the first time this season, on the tight rope!
Clowns! Magicians! Performing hens! The strongest man! The incredible fire-eater!

Our idea is inspired by the real-life, Victorian travelling-circus of the same name that was popular for over 30 years and whose poster also inspired the Beatles to write a song about the circus!
