OLYMPIA EVENTS THROWBACK

First Circus in London

We’ve mentioned Coco the Clown before: the famous clown was Nicolai Polakovs OBE, who performed every Christmas for 37 years with the Bertram Mills Circus in Olympia Grand at Olympia Events. Well, Bertram Mills actually launched the first circus in London, a 16-act show for the holiday season, at Olympia Events on 17 December 1920. Happy holidays!
