Everywhere’s A Beach
Hikapee
Join us for a day at the beach unlike any other in this high
energy, circus theatre show! Perfect for the
whole family, Everywhere’s a Beach is a charmingly ridiculous
performance, taking place on a giant revolving beach parasol!
This dynamic, dizzying and downright daft show will leave you dancing
with delight! You’ll be swept away as this show embraces everything
