FOOD lovers will be able to get money off their meals at select restaurants for a limited time, thanks to a travelling circus which is now in town.

To celebrate Big Kid Circus’s Braintree Shopping Village residency launching today, circus-goers are able to enjoy exclusive discounts at three restaurants on site.

If you are attending any of the circus shows which are on from March 13 until Sunday 24, you will be eligible for 25 per cent off food at Wildwood, except on Saturdays.

You can also enjoy 20 per cent off The Real Greek’s main menu, and 20 per cent off food at Bill, however the deal is eligible for only a maximum table of four and it excludes Bill’s set menu.

The Big Kid Circus will host several shows each day.

The circus was founded in 2005 by Biliana and Kiril Kirilov, two experienced acrobatic performers, with Biliana having previously joined a circus at the age of 13, and travelled to Cuba, Italy and Greece.

Each two-hour show will be full of thrills, excitement and laugh-out-loud moments.

During the show, a group of motorbike riders will “defy gravity and fear” as they race at high speeds inside a mesh globe.
