Very disappointed. Ended up going somewhere else as was not as advertised. Music ok but the atmosphere was DEAD especially for NYE!

Review of TWISTED CIRCUS NYE: BIRMINGHAM

The night wasn't as good as I thought it would be, the drinks were VERY expensive for what u had, it was cold inside the venue, it wasn't busy at all which I think had an effect on the atmosphere. The music was very repetitive as I heard several songs more than twice & would have been good to have heard more of a variety as advertised. The entertainment was really good but after 5 minutes of watching them doing their routine individually it again was very repetitive. The best part of the night was the countdown as everyone got onto the dance floor (which just about filled it) we had the confetti shower & giant ballons which was a wow factor. Unfortunately the rest of the night wasn't as good as I'd thought it was going to be.

Review of TWISTED CIRCUS NYE: BIRMINGHAM

The event desription we read before purchasing tickets massively overhyped what we actually experienced. The event was sub par at best, performances were limited and the magic mirror room was literally three very small funhouse mirrors lined up against a wall. As we approached the venue there were other attendees leaving and warning us not to bother going in and staff outside also warning us that we would be disappointed. The venue itself was severely under capacity and looked empty which completely spoiled the atmosphere. The drinks were ridiculously overpriced, we paid £17 for two drinks then later had a Carlsberg which was flat and tasted awful. There was also unacceptable behaviour from other attendees which was witnessed by staff but no one stepped in to intervene. Would warn anyone against attending this event, honestly started off the new year completely disappointed and would like to have a refund as we paid over the odds for an incredibly poor experience.

02 put drink prices up ! Also put doubles into small cups , when asked for more lemonade was told would be extra £2:20 to put it into larger cup. Staff agreed they was smaller cups but told by boss to use small cups.

The event advertised it to be something it was not. By half 12 on new years eve by the way the venue was basically empty. I would not recommend it to anyone to be honest. The advertisment said there would be 2 rooms bare in mind the second room was absolutely tiny and comfortable dead I could count the amount of people that were actually in there on one hand 😂😂 I assume they had trouble selling tickets the atmosphere completely was rubbish.

Review of TWISTED CIRCUS NYE: BIRMINGHAM

I really enjoyed the art and Dean E G was the best. Unfortunately the place was super huge and felt super empty so everyone left super early. I would say till midnight the atmosphere was awesome and after it went down.

Review of TWISTED CIRCUS NYE: BIRMINGHAM

Absolutely no atmosphere, really disappointed, left after 20 minutes. Overpriced drinks and the circus performances were really poor.

Review of TWISTED CIRCUS NYE: BIRMINGHAM

Nothing to what I expected, it was quiet, over priced once getting in and the circus acts were boring.
The atmosphere was a room full of people and music playing with no vibe to it.
I wouldn’t recommend this especially for a New Year’s Eve party, once getting in and ordering two drinks that nearly came to £20 and tasted like juice, I would not return myself.
The music was average, standard radio station playlists.
As mentioned the acts were on a stage and meh nothing wow to how you imagine a circus, the ball pit was replaced for 3 petty mirrors which was a huge mistake.
2nd room was small and the music in there was not to taste so I never went back in.
