CIRKUS ARENA DENMARK TV

Interesting slightly-off-topic post from the Circus In Denmark website.Ĭircus Posters in Varde.

Thursday morning at 11 there was with the help from the local fire brigade elephant washing at the lot in Allerod.Ībout 100 persons, including some kindergarten children, saw when the firemen sent a jet of water against the three elephants, which at first was a little hesitant, but later enjoyed the shower.

Most other municipalities does take such rent. The equipment arrived on August 3, although they first had performance in Allerod on 6 August.įor the performances 4 and 5 August in Værløse and Farum only tent and a few vehicles were on the circus lots, since animals and artists commuted from Allerod to Værløse and Farum.Ĭontributing to the use of Allerod as a base for a few days is perhaps that Allerod municipality does not take any rent for the circus lots. Therefore, Circus Arena is in a number of cities is using other lots as base for their animals and the performers and crews living wagons.įrom there they drive artists and animal to and from the lot where they are performing.įor several years, Circus Arena has uses the circus lot next to the fire station in my hometown Allerod in that way. The lots are simply too small to have room both for their big top and their stable tents and wagons. With the largest circus tent in Denmark many circus lots has not room to both tents and equipment from Circus Arena. That’s why you at back of the lot also can see the Arena tent.Ĭircus Arena’s Pierrot (Ib Groth Rasmussen) acted as host for the elephant washing. Preliminary number of participants is estimated at 50 people, however, it is expected that many more will announce their arrival on the very day when the organizers brands solid backing.įrom the website Circus In Denmark - entry for 7 August 2015.Ĭircus Arena’s equipment and elephants at the lot in Allerod. This is an important demonstration of, to get a debate going on whether a ban on wild animals in circuses, which 'Animal Alliance' among others working for, said Coordinator and Press Officer Assmae Halouani from Animal Alliance Copenhagen City.

'The elephants were as usual excited to get out and get a swim, but next year we will ally ourselves with the local police, so traffic can be better regulated,' Circus Arena writes. It irritated the elephant Jungla so much that she kicked at a car which was somewhat damaged.Īnd the car damage is covered by Circus Arena’s insurance. People surged forward and ran in front of and behind the 3 elephants Lara, Jenny and Jungla as if they were toys. That the event now took place on a Saturday attracted even more spectators than usual. This year the elephant cross and swim was scheduled for Friday, July 9.īut it was pushed a day, to Saturday, July 10, because Circus Arena due to violent gusts of gale force cancelled performances respectively in Stevns and Karrebaeksminde on 8 and 9 July and moved the performance on 10 July Naestved to Karrebaesminde.
