Created in 2015, Underbelly's Circus Hub on the Meadows was the first ever major venue dedicated to circus at the Edinburgh Fringe.
For 2022, Circus Hub returns with another spectacular programme, showcasing the best in UK and international circus. Located on The Meadow, Underbelly's Circus Hub is made up of the Lafayette (a 550 seat big top) and The Beauty (a 500 seat spiegeltent). The two venues are named after one of the world’s most famous circus performers and illusionists - The Great Lafayette, and his dog Beauty, who famously both died in Edinburgh in 1911. These venues provide the opportunity to present spectacular and technically ambitious circus work of a level that has never been seen before at the Fringe, in the heart of Edinburgh.
