A little about Svensons

Svensons flea circuses and show was all started by 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 creating one, and after much experimenting he created his first circus in an old suitcase, it was great 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!

I am Eric, Svens father, Svens interest in flea circuses slowly brushed off on me, and now I am more enthusiastic about flea circuses than Sven, and I am ringmaster of the show too!

Svensons has grown to become the UKs most popular flea circus show, and the worlds only full time flea circus maker! 

When I'm not doing shows I work full time creating them for other entertainers and collectors, 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 (pardon the "flea" pun!). He even had a child-size suit of Roman armour made in aluminium, complete with shield, spear, and sword!

Svens interests have now diverted to fairground rides (mainly Waltzers), but we have him to thank for Svensons, and I have him to thank for the best job in the world!  

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!"
