Ashton’s The Great Australian Circus is rolling in to Mt Gravatt Showgrounds, bringing world-class entertainment for the whole family from December 5 to 14.

Over two weekends, you'll have the chance to enjoy thrills, laughter, and jaw-dropping spectacle under the Big Top.

Prepare for gravity-defying aerialists, heart-racing motorcycle stunts, dazzling knife-throwing acts, and side-splitting comedy - all performed under the iconic red-and-white Big Top by a cast of internationally acclaimed performers.

For Ashton’s isn’t just a show, it's a living, breathing part of Australian history! Their family’s first circus was started by James Henry Ashton, in 1850, and since then the iconic circus family has since grown into many different entertainment companies

They travelled across Australia for over 173 years, entertaining everyone from gold rush settlers to modern families. It's even appeared in blockbusters hits. Today, four generations of the Ashton family—from the 5th to the 8th—carry on the legacy, sharing their story across Australia..

One of those carrying the torch is Chantel Ashton-Rodriguez, a 6th-generation circus performer and managing director of Ashton Entertainment. From mastering aerial silks and trapeze to leading the business and raising her own young son on the road, Chantel embodies the heart of the circus.
