SCC: Full Moon & Attic Circus Performance at The Full Moon & Attic Bar
See event details

A event held at The Full Moon & Attic Bar on Sunday 27th October. The event starts at 11:30.


This event is part of Stokes Croft Calling.

Join Compass on a time travelling escapade to the 1600’s where the Full Moon on Stokes Croft is a place of rest for you, a wearisome traveller. As the history books tell, there are bear-fighting shows in the Bear Pit, and a giant roams this part of town. For the Full Moon is the coaching inn of choice, if you’re visiting the travelling fair, spread all across Lewins Mead to the bottom of Stokes Croft. Step inside for a glimpse of some circus folk, and if the stars align, they may perform for you! Did you know, the Full Moon (still to this day!) holds a licence for female bare knuckle fighting?! Come on in and meet bare-knuckle Bessie, ringmaster-cum-bar-mistress, and at least one of her circussy entourage! Be in awe at fire stunts and juggling. Watch out that Bessie doesn’t steal you to run away with the circus!
