If you’re in London this weekend, there’s a show that can’t be missed; Cirque du Soleil hardly needs any introduction. Until Sunday 1st August, Wembley Arena will be hosting ‘Saltimbanco’, which means “to jump on a bench” in Italian. It is Cirque du Soleil’s longest running major show; this year, the group is celebrating it’s 26th birthday. Back in 1984, it was just a small group of street performers from Quebec, and now there are over 50 performers from more than 20 different countries! The best talent is hand picked from across the globe to give the best in acrobatics, theatre, music and dance.

Today, more than 50 million people have seen performances by Cirque du Soleil, including 1.5 million people in the UK. Now is your chance to join those numbers, watching the incredible stunts in one of Europe’s biggest stadiums. Tickets are likely to sell out fast so book yours now; you can also book a taxi online to complete your trip. London cabs can be difficult to flag down when you need them, and public transport can add to stress if it’s rush hour. Booking a taxi makes your life that much easier, so get your quote now and book with Tick Tock Taxi.

Cirque du Soleil is widely hailed as the best circus show in the world; every one of their performances have received critical acclaim and fantastic reviews. It appeals to any age; adults grasp just how impressive the acts are, while children are mesmerised by the colourful costumes and elaborate sets. You’ll be left wide eyed and open mouthed at the sheer extravagance of the show, unable to comprehend how people pull off these incredible acrobatics! The group is now the most famous physical theatre act in the world, and is still going strong.

Even if you’ve seen the show before, you’ll probably want to go again. Those who haven’t seen it but have already booked their ticket are in for a treat! You only have a few days left so don’t delay. Bringing a little bit of Vegas glamour right into London, Cirque du Soleil will excite and delight you - it truly is world class.
