Blackpool Tower Circus (often shortened to the Tower Circus) is a circus show which performs in The Blackpool Tower Circus arena, located inside The Blackpool Tower, Blackpool, Lancashire, England, United Kingdom. It has run continuously since 1894, with the arena being the oldest permanent circus arena still in use in the world. The show's arena is one of only four circus arenas in the world with a sinking ring – where the hydraulic ring floor is lowered by 1.37 metres (4.5 ft) to allow 42,000 imperial gallons (190,000 L) of water to fill the ring in less than a minute. This is used the circus as part of a "water finale" with fountains. The circus is also known for having resident clowns, most famous being Charlie Cairoli, who appear each year in the show. The current resident clowns are Mooky the Clown, who has been the head clown since 1999, and his brother Mr Boo.
