Free School Holiday Circus Fun Rolls into the Glenelg Shire

Published on 17 June 2026

Families across Glenelg Shire are invited to step into a playful paddock of circus, comedy and country charm this July, as The Farmy Farm brings a joyful burst of school holiday entertainment to Casterton and Heywood, completely free.

Created by Circus Trick Tease in collaboration with Stunned Mullet Circus, and from the makers of the much-loved Children Are Stinky, The Farmy Farm is a high-energy, laugh-filled performance set in the heart of a familiar Australian landscape.

Audiences will join Kenny and Jenny on their beloved Legend Farms for a day packed with tractor-loads of antics. Expect towering hay bale acrobatics, giant juggling carrots and a cast of fair dinkum high-flying farmers, all woven together with humour that lands with both children and adults alike.

This 50-minute performance is recommended for children aged 3 to 12 and their families, offering a shared experience that is equal parts spectacle and silliness.
