About Us

Svensons has quickly become Europes most well known Flea Circus maker (and UK show), it all started with Sven my son.

Sven has been fascinated by the circus and fairs since he first began to talk, he always wanted to own a real circus; of course he knew this was unlikely but everyone has thier dream! But one day when he was about 9 years old he discovered the "Flea Circus" in an old book, now here was a circus he could really own and be the ringmaster!  

So he set to making one. After much experimenting he built his first circus in an old suitcase, it worked well and everyone loved it! A few years later he had the idea of making a very small flea circus in a cigar box, again everyone loved it, he even stopped people in the street to give little shows!

As time went by Sven has got more and more interested in Flea Circuses, he has built some very tiny and beautiful props for them, and spent a long time learning how to harness fleas.

I am Eric, Svens father, Svens interest in circuses brushed off on me and now i am just as enthusiastic about Flea Circuses as Sven (if not more so!), I have my own Flea Circus and show! I love making interesting things; when Sven was younger he must of been the only child around with his own fully working "half-scale" child size Landrover, built by me from scratch. He even had (and still has) a child-size suit of Roman armour made in aluminium, complete with shield spear and sword!

So Sven trains fleas and i make the flea circuses and i am also "Ringmaster of Svensons Flea Circus show!  

father and son with the same interests is a great combination. Between us our favourate saying is..........

"Anyone can do anything, you just have to really want to do it!"
