Following the publicity about Bobby Roberts Circus having a live elephant as part of its act (no longer) this has attracted three circuses to come from overseas and tour in the UK for the first time. Yorkshire will see the Polish State Circus which will include two elephants, three lions, many horses and a tiger. Dates are so far agreed as August 14 to Sept 9th at 15 Bridge St Otley West Yorkshire, the site of the Otley Show. The German "Circus of Dreams" which includes an elephant, dogs, horses and donkeys will be at Bridge, in Pool-in-Wharfedale between September 1st and 7th

Manchester Vegan group working with concerned individuals in Yorkshire are planning a demo for Friday 26th of August and Saturday 27th of August at the Otley Show Grounds located at 15 Bridge Street, Otley West Yorkshire.

We have chosen these dates as they are expected to be the busiest of the tour for the circus. There is a piece of land directly outside where a sympathetic landowner has given his blessing for us to use. There will be banners available as well as flyers to give out but we do need PEOPLE. Please meet at 7.30 near the "STOP THE CRUEL CIRCUS" banner.

We would ask that companion animals such as dogs are left at home.
