Circus at Bromley Hockey Club: What to Expect
Ever wondered why a sports club would host a circus? At Bromley Hockey Club we love mixing the fast‑paced world of hockey with the bright, playful vibe of a circus. It’s not just about the game – it’s about giving families a reason to come together, laugh, and make memories outside the usual match schedule.
Why a circus fits our club vibe
Our club is built on community, teamwork, and energy. A circus brings those same ingredients – performers need trust, crowds need excitement, and everyone gets a chance to cheer. Adding juggling, acrobatics, and clown acts turns a regular Saturday into a festival that feels like a big team celebration.
People often think a circus is only for kids, but the truth is adults love the surprise factor. After a hard‑fought match, watching a tightrope walker or a fire‑breather can be a perfect way to unwind. It also gives us a chance to show off our own players stepping off the pitch and onto the mat, proving they’re more than just athletes.
How to join the circus fun
Events usually run once a month, on a weekend evening that doesn’t clash with regular training. Tickets go on sale through our website and are priced to be affordable for families. Arrive early to grab a spot near the food stalls – we’ll have hot chips, popcorn, and a few of our club’s own protein shakes for the health‑conscious crowd.
If you want to be part of the show, sign‑up sheets are posted at the clubhouse. We’re always looking for volunteers to help with set‑up, ticketing, or even to try a simple juggling routine. No previous experience needed – we’ll give you a quick tutorial and plenty of encouragement.
How does a circus benefit our players? First, it builds confidence. Performing in front of a crowd, even in a small role, helps players get used to pressure situations on the field. Second, it encourages creativity; a player who tries a new trick might bring that same fearless attitude back to their game.
Families also get a reason to stay longer at the club. Kids can watch the show, then join a mini‑workshop where they learn basic tricks using a hockey stick as a prop. Parents get a chance to socialize with other supporters, turning a normal match day into a community gathering.
Past circus nights have been a hit. Last summer we featured a local clown troupe that taught kids how to do funny face paints. Earlier this year a pair of aerialists performed over our floodlights, creating a stunning silhouette that even our senior players stopped to watch. Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive – many say it’s the highlight of their season.
Got questions? Most people wonder about parking – we have free spaces around the clubhouse and a shuttle from the town centre on event days. Others ask if the circus is wheelchair‑accessible; yes, all our venues are fully accessible and we provide special seating areas.
