Samhain Ritual Celtic Circus Cabaret

The Silver Wheel Circus, which brought the sell out show "Ostara" to Ashburton Arts Centre in April 2025 is back with a new circus cabaret show to celebrate and honour the time of Samhain. It's an evening show curated primarily for adults, exploring the themes of this time of year in a sensitive, vulnerable and raw set of performers who will dive into the subconscious and through sensational circus acts explore the potent topics of grief and ancestry, love and sorrow, all happening within a ritual space.

“Come ye, come ye… Feast yourself on a night of wonder!
From fantastic fire breathers to death-defying aerialists, clowns and dancers. Let us take you on a journey through the ritualistic and ridiculous, reverently touching, raw, emotional…

The tone of the night will be darkly magical, sensual and atmospheric, hosted by the dark priestess who will call forth other-worldly beings, apparitions with a message, a glimpse of what lingers in the in-between. These messages might be playful, seductive, eerie, ecstatic, mournful or strange — each one carrying something from beyond the veil.
