Starting at Glasgow’s Victoria Park last month, the show is set to be in Elgin at the Auction Mart on New Elgin Road over July 8-13.

From there Zippos will head to Banff Links for July 14-16 before making the journey back up the coast to Buckie’s Linzee Gordon Park for shows over July 18-21.

The ever-popular acrobat and comedy star Paulo Dos Santos hosts the show again. He might only be 3ft 6in tall but he has a big personality. Artists from Italy, France, Kenya, Mongolia, South America, the Ukraine and more join him in the circus ring.

The show is packed with edge-of-your-seat thrills. From Italy the very funny Lorenz Carnevale is providing comedy and laughs for children and adults alike. Hailing from France, Cheyenne will have the audience biting their fingernails as she swings through the air of the Zippos' Big Top on the cloud swing.

Zippos Circus founder Martin Burton said: "I am extremely proud that Zippos Circus is Scotland's and the UK’s favourite family circus, boasting a sensational cast of international artistes and a talented team working behind the scenes.”

Advance booking is strongly recommended. Book online and check tour dates at www.zippos.co.uk
