Roll Up, Roll Up! The Little Big Top Travelling Exhibition Tent Is Coming to a Library Near You!

Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind pop-up exhibition – a miniature circus tent packed with colour, craft, and community stories, celebrating 50 years of Jacksons Lane Arts Centre in Highgate.

The Little Big Top tells stories from Jacksons Lane’s beginnings as a community centre in 1975, to today’s iconic home of contemporary circus – and all that’s happened in between.

Sit back on a bean bag and listen to real voices recorded throughout 2025 – a rich audio journey of origins, activism, community, innovation, and creativity.
