Ashton’s “The Great Australian Circus” is more than just a show—it’s an immersive experience that brings together breathtaking skill, tradition, and modern thrills under the classic big top. With affordable tickets, this is an unmissable opportunity for families to enjoy world-class entertainment right in their backyard.

Step inside the big top and be transported into a world where gravity is defied, and limits are shattered. Watch daring aerialists soar through the air on silks and trapeze, performing breathtaking mid-air maneuvers that will leave you holding your breath. Witness edge-of-your-seat stunts, including heart-stopping motorcycle cage riders defying physics, daring knife-throwing precision acts, comedy, and incredible balancing acts.
Founded in 1850 by James Henry Ashton, the Ashton Circus has endured through history, from entertaining Australian bushrangers like Ned Kelly in the 1800s to starring in hit blockbusters including Mad Max. Today, the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th generations of the Ashton family continue this iconic tradition, bringing joy to communities across the country.

Chantel Ashton-Rodriguez, a 6th-generation performer and managing director of Ashton Entertainment, embodies this rich legacy. She’s available for interviews to share behind-the-scenes insights and stories from her life in the circus. Chantel is a master of aerial silks, knife-throwing, trapeze, and more—acts that will take center stage in Roma.
