EE Turns Half-Term Chaos Into Entertainment With ‘The Circus’

With October’s half-term well underway, parents across the UK are in the thick of the familiar blend of school holiday chaos and family bonding.
This time of year brings a whirlwind of sibling arguments, constant snack replenishing, and loosened bedtimes, all while parents juggle work and childcare.
According to EE’s latest research, almost half (45%) of parents find it challenging to balance work responsibilities with looking after the kids, and 39% struggle to find affordable activities that keep everyone entertained.

EE has stepped in with a remedy to help families turn holiday mayhem into memorable experiences.

For the remainder of half-term, families can tune into EE Home Presents: The Circus, an on-demand show adapted from its summer performance at London’s HERE at Outernet.

 

 

Featuring captivating acts by the Revel Puck Circus, this immersive experience brings to life the highs and lows of the school holiday in an entertaining way that children (ages 5-15) and their families can enjoy together. Available now on EE’s YouTube channel and EE TV, it’s an ideal chance for families to sit down and unwind with a performance that’s as dazzling as it is relatable.
