For over 173 years The Ashton Circus Family has travelled to both regional towns and big cities, bringing joy to the people of Australia. Generations of the Ashtons crossed deserts and flooded rivers, drove over snow-covered mountains, fended off bushrangers, and even ventured where there were no roads to reach the communities.
People came from all around to enjoy Ashton Circus. In the 1800s, Ned Kelly watched our show on a number of occasions and even enjoyed tea with the performers after the show. The Ashton Family has grown and changed over eight generations since James Henry Ashton started his circus. Our family continues this great tradition, proud that we still bring affordable family entertainment to our fellow Australians. Today, the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th generations of the Ashton family are still on tour, operating three individual circus companies throughout Australia – Each having grown from the same roots.
