Spaghetti Circus Big Top

Prince Alfred Square has a rather illustrious history. The site of Australia’s first gaol in 1797, it was burned down by inmates only to be replaced by a two story stone building and the first female factory. It honours Prince Alfred, the first British monarch to visit Australia in 1867, who was shot on his return visit in the back. The political assassination was unsuccessful and the Prince made a full recovery. 

Spaghetti Circus Big Top is a licensed venue. Under 18s must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
