Do you believe in fairies….

It has been decided, through a *rigorous* process consisting mostly of enthusiasm, questionable ideas and somebody inevitably saying “yeah, go on then”, that **Halloween and Christmas are happening at the same time this year.**

🎃🎄 **spinning@ × East London Circus Hub present: Halloween × Christmas PWB FUNDRAISER** 🎄🎃
📅 **14 November 2026**

Think festive cheer, but make it haunted with tinsel on top.

The nights shenanigans include circus, fire, ridiculous games, music, questionable beverages, general revelry on and off stage: Nightmare B4 Xmas, A gloriously twisted collaboration from Spinning@ and the East London Circus Hub in aid of Performers Without Borders.

Step right up, creatures of the twilight, spin-enthusiasts, and dwellers of the uncanny.

It is a well-documented cosmic fact that between the crisp crunch of autumn leaves and the suffocating tinsel of December lies a peculiar, shadowed pocket of time. A twilight realm where things go bump, spin, juggle, and occasionally burst into flame.

Dress Code: Tinsel tangled in cobwebs, Santa hats on skeletons, gothic elf wear, striped stockings, pumpkin kings, feral reindeer, or Victorian ghost attire. Whether you lean full Yuletide horror, eerie festive glam, or simply drape some battery-powered fairy lights over your favourite black circus rags - the stranger the collision, the better.

Come for the circus. Stay for the chaos. Leave before the curse takes hold. Find tickets in our bio 👻

**Save the date: 14 November.**

EJC 2026 Ptuj done! 38 degrees on a hill, performing on the fire gala stage (more on that later👀), meeting familiar faces on the internet and new faces, poopy water, many isotonic radlers, the life saving cafe by the camp, portion size of the “Asian” noodles made with spaghetti, the roasted peanut guy, the thiccc air of the juggling halls, troll party under the bridge, peeing in own mouth, the worlds largest fire space turning into the worlds smallest fire space, biblical storm with forked lightning, and the last party at the fire space. The usual.

Weeee first @roztocfest ! What an amazing experience even tho I dislocated my knee the first night 🥲 still managed to play a banger of a set in the bunker😈 thankfully, with my broken knee, I was surrounded by community, friends, new friends and family that was the greatest support ever. Really would not have been able to manage this without all the help I got. Greatful is an understatement. So much love in my heart and knee😝

Looking forward to the next one!
