There are acts involving "gauchos" - Argentinean cowboys, highwire acts with no safety devices, Buenos Aires beauties, dancing, swordfights and a beautiful lady ringmistress.

Circus Royale boasts a truly international troupe, with performers coming from Brazil, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, New Zealand, and Mongolia.

There are performing technicolour birds, waltzing horses, camels, llamas, geese, guinea pigs, a dog and the unique dancing Friesian cows, who have enchanted audiences in both the city and the country.

A brand new million-dollar heated big top with every seat within 12 metres of the ring means all of the audience becomes part of the live action, as they are close enough to see the faces of performers, feel the energy and interact with the clowns.

Circus Royale will be in Dubbo Showgrounds October 27 to November 7, with shows Wednesday to Friday at 7.30pm nightly, Saturday 2pm and 7.30pm, and on Sunday at 11am and 2pm.

Adults from $20, children 2 years to 13 years pay just $10. A family of four is $55.
