GIVEAWAY TIME! Win a family ticket for 4 to The Wing Scuffle Spectacular in Leigh-on-Sea
Half term, meet your fears. Together with The Revel Puck Circus , we’re giving one lucky family the chance to see a brand new troupe’s first ever circus, live at Chalkwell Park. A Giant Rola Bola, teeterboard acrobatics, a swinging chainsaw escape and lots of laughs, with thrills and no scary clowns. It was named Best Circus in Theatre Weekly’s Best of the Fest at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe, and now it’s coming to our big top near you.
THE PRIZE
Tickets for 4 people with the best seats available. Choose any Chalkwell Park performance, subject to availability.
HOW TO ENTER
Email [email protected] with your name and contact number.
The winner will be picked at random and contacted by DM or email depending on entry method. Closes at 8.00pm on Wednesday 21 October. UK entrants only, 18+. Not sponsored, endorsed or administered by Instagram.
The show runs Friday 23 October to Sunday 1 November in a heated big top. Book tickets at the link in our bio.
