NoFit State Circus is a contemporary circus company. Here in April 2018 they will premiere 'Lexicon' "- a daring, seductive and utterly contemporary take on circus for a seated audience in the round." Newcastle-under-Lyme is the birthplace of the famous equestrian and cavalryman, Philip Astley, who in 1768 created the circus ring and invented the modern circus form. Just across the dual carriageway from this site, subway art commemorates him: see https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5311710 and https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5311688
