Stardust Circus is a touring circus company from Australia, founded in 1993 by the Lennon and West families, both of whom possess circus heritage tracing back to the late 1800s. The circus holds an annual season spanning from January through to late November, showcasing performances in both remote regional areas and major urban centers.
The lineup at Stardust Circus includes a diverse range of acts such as tumbling artists, solo trapeze performers, acrobats, teeterboard specialists, aerial silks, cloud swing, flying trapeze, and clown entertainers. Its animal segment features liberty horses trained to perform dressage on command, alongside Welsh mountain ponies, goats, pigs, and dogs.
In response to insurance complications emerging after the pandemic, the circus retired its four tigers in 2021—the final exotic animals featured in its shows. Prior to this, elephants and monkeys had also been withdrawn from their performances.
Natalie, daughter of Janice Lennon, married Rudy Weber; together they manage Webers Circus.
