About Cirque le Soir
A circus-themed nightclub on Ganton Street in Soho where the entertainment isn’t an add-on — it’s embedded in the DNA of the venue. Cirque le Soir has been running since 2009 and draws on an agency of over 450 circus-inspired performers to deliver four simultaneous stages of live acts throughout the night. Fire eaters, aerial artists, contortionists, burlesque performers, magicians, and more — the production runs continuously, creating an atmosphere that would cost tens of thousands to replicate through external entertainment booking.
Full venue hire accommodates up to 500 standing or around 100 for seated and cabaret formats, with a late licence that lets events run deep into the night. The Ganton Street location places it steps from Carnaby Street and Oxford Circus, in the thick of Soho’s nightlife.
Entertainment and Production at Cirque le Soir
The entertainment is the venue’s core proposition. Four performance stages run simultaneously — guests encounter different acts in different areas throughout the night, creating a constantly shifting experience that keeps attention high. The in-house events team curates the entertainment to match the brief, and the level of production can be dialled up or down depending on the occasion. Corporate events might lean toward the spectacular but appropriate; private birthday parties can push into the more theatrical and outrageous. The Cirque le Soir décor changes throughout the year, with seasonal theming — including a signature Halloween transformation that’s become one of the most sought-after event nights in London.The Funfair Area
Beyond the performance stages, a dedicated funfair area provides arcade games, a rodeo bull, beer pong, a photo booth, fortune tellers, and make-up artists. This creates an interactive entertainment zone separate from the main dance floor and performance areas — giving guests who want something beyond watching acts a space to participate rather than spectate.Branding and Corporate Events
Cirque le Soir offers branding opportunities across the venue — photo booth customisation, stage pillar and LED screen branding, the kaleidoscope tunnel, and other bespoke elements. For product launches, brand activations, and corporate celebrations where visual identity matters, the venue’s production capabilities extend well beyond standard nightclub hire. Bespoke cocktail menus and catering are available through the in-house team, and the venue can accommodate external catering requirements. The events team creates tailored packages for each booking.Getting to Cirque le Soir
Ganton Street runs parallel to Carnaby Street in Soho. Oxford Circus station is approximately five minutes’ walk — served by the Victoria, Central, and Bakerloo lines. The late licence means events aren’t cut short by early closing, and the Soho location provides a natural post-event environment for guests continuing their evening.Capacity at Cirque le Soir
