Circus in Brighton and Hove

“We had such a fun time at Oddballs yesterday being shown yoyo tricks and how to juggle! The guy in the shop was fun, friendly and super helpful. We left with some poi and a game and I'm determined to get to a point where I can pick up my fire poi again soon after 25 years!”

“Mark, Christine and Millie make living here such a great experience. Such an efficient hardworking team! Any problems in the flat and mark comes running over and fixes it with a smile! Christine and Millie, ensure parcels are safely stored, organise events for all the residents and also liaise with contractors”

“Ordered some Paris base plates online and then realised I needed to add something to my order. Being a tight arse I didn't want to pay postage twice so called them on the phone, I spoke with Alex who was more than helpful and even added the bits I'd forgotten free of charge. Great service and a nice skate related chat to boot. Clearly a company run by skaters who actually give a s*!t... Top marks from me.”

“Great carols night at the Joker. Food was excellent as always and it was massively Christmassy. Excellent job choir and Joker crew.”

“I've always found the dentist to be a difficult place to go to, and having not always taken the best care of my teeth in the past i'm now trying to change that. Preston circus have been incredibly accommodating with this. From Imran the hygienist who works at my pace to make sure I'm not struggling through the ordeal, whilst also taking a genuine care in my dental health as well. To Sarah who is a dream dentist, who makes the checkups easy and calm. Only amazing things to say about this place and I recommend it to anyone looking for a new dentist!”

“The most friendly and welcome student accommodation I’ve come across, with a variety of facilities, located right at the heart of brighton allowing it to be an easy access to almost everything in brighton. The management team are one of the most open and welcoming team I’ve met who are extremely friendly as well. The rooms are way more than satisfactory and comfortable.”

“I have worked with Jo for five years, transforming my living room, bathroom, bedroom and most recently my kitchen. She is a hugely experienced and talented interior designer who has been a pleasure to work with.”

“Rang fire service as my brothers carer locked himself out and was alone in the house is vulnerable came round in 5mins and opened the door thank you so much”

“It’s literally a roundabout, but as far as they go it bangs.”

“I have been having a fantastic experience learning aerial as a beginner with Kellie and the team at Teardrop, they are incredibly talented aerialists and very welcoming indeed. : )”

“I love this laundrette. Always clean, the machines are always working, convenient opening hours. The staff are helpful and patient if there’s any kind of problem (usually me not realising I haven’t put the right amount of coins in). Early on a Sunday is usually a quiet time to visit.”

“I dont often write reviews but doing this for the benefit of anyone who may be in my position and trying to find something suitable and a laugh for a hen do, as that was me a few months ago when I booked Showlesque! I know there are some mixed reviews on Google and Trip advisor, but I hope this may help sway someone's decision in deciding whether or not to go...we went as a hen do on 30th August, and I was worried about what to expect because of a recent review only giving 3 stars. The food came quickly and was actually very tasty...chips were great. The staff were friendly, particularly the young lady with bobbed wavy blonde hair (sorry I've forgotten your name!). Service was good. Veronica Blacklace absolutely made the night as the MC and singer, she had a fab voice, very funny and knew how to read a room perfectly. Big Hairy Growler...so funny, and his strip tease was so bad it was good lol. We had such a laugh, the energy was great. The venue is small and intimate, but this didnt mean the atmosphere was any less. When the show finished, there was a DJ playing classic tunes, the place wasn't busy but to be honest we just enjoyed having the dance floor to ourselves. My one criticism would be that maybe there could have been a couple more alternative acts within the show, as each person came on twice (there were three performers in total, plus the MC). Very entertaining, we laughed all night and the hen had the best time. Would definitely recommend! One thing to note, if you are a large group make sure to ask to be seated on one table...we were a group of 9 but split into two booths, we could still see and talk to each other but we would have preferred to have been sat together.”

“I joined Fitness Hub because I've been in and out of gyms for a few years and have never managed to stay for longer than 3 months because I get so bored. Fitness Hub is the best exercise I have ever done in my life - all the trainers are so lovely as well as motivating, and I can genuinely say I now love exercise. I am gutted if I have to miss a class because each one is so different - old me would be shocked! There's also an amazing community and everyone is so friendly. Best money I've ever spent in my life!”

“We loved using the dance space. Everyone was extremely friendly. We used the space to run wellbeing days and therapeutic groups, it was perfect. The building is accessible, very bright and clean. Everything we needed. Thank you so much to all the staff for being so incredibly accommodating with our unique needs.”

“I love this place. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. I like taking my coffee sitting outside. Actually I find its interior very inspiring and peaceful.”

“Really liked this place. Came here on a Wednesday evening with booking a table beforehand. I would suggest you'd do the same as it was full for a Wednesday (always a good sign). We ordered drinks, two small plates and two large plates and it came out of the kitchen really quickly (we were eating main meal in the next 20-25 minutes). After that we decided to have a dessert and with that it took one whole hour to order, get the desserts, finish and pay. So the service was a bit slow in the end but nothing to complain about as they were really nice and friendly. I loved the food, fairly priced and loved the fresh ingredients. One thing that bothered me was the lamb's lettuce on everything. Could be at least flavored, or maybe not there at all? I loved the atmosphere of the place, pretty decor, nice music...somebody really thought this through. Overall a great experience and would definitely visit again.”

“Very nice and air conditioned well”
