Developed by a large European working group, the European Circus Charter for Hosting Circuses in Towns lays out a model of good practice to which local authorities, circuses and other hosts can subscribe. It divides into four parts: How to host a circus?, Location, Installation, and Performance, colour coding its recommendations to distinguish between circus and local authority commitments.
