Themes
The dates for The BIG Top 2010 will be Monday 23 August 2010 to Friday 27 August 2010 plus Sunday 29 August. It will be run on a similar pattern and times to 2009 but the 2010 theme has not yet been decided.

This was the tenth year of The BIG Top. The theme of The BIG Top Holiday Club for 2009 was "Pyramid Rock". Previous year's themes were: "Landlubbers - pirates searching for hidden treasure" (2009), "Wastewatchers" (2007), "Star Zone" (2006), "Fish 'n Chips" (2005), "On Safari" (2004), "Ship's Cruise" (2003), "Television" (2002), "Space" (2001) and "Circus" (2000).

Dates and other Details
The BIG Top 2009 was held each morning Monday to Friday, 24-28 August 10.30am-12.15pm at Teddington Baptist Church, Church Road, Teddington TW11 8PF. There was also a Celebration Fun Day and BBQ on Sunday 30 August which began at 10.30am and ran until about 2pm including fun with inflatables and a BBQ lunch.

The BIG Top 2009 had four groups with the dividing line between them based on age. The actual age division for each group was based on the numbers applying to attend.

The Rainbow Tent for 3 year olds;
The Marquee for 4 year olds
The Ring for 5-7 year olds;
The Arena for 8-11 year olds;

The cost of the week was the same as for 2008 - £17-50 per child all inclusive. If a family had more than one child attending, the cost after the first child was reduced to £12-50 per child for the week. For bookings by the day, the cost was £3-50 per child for each day. Those attending The BIG Top during the week could come with their families to the Sunday Celebration Fun Day and BBQ without extra charge.

Rock Café 2009
Rock Café 2009 was for 11-16 year olds. It was being held on the evenings of Tuesday 25 August - Friday 28 August from 7.30pm to 9pm and has the theme "Amazing Journeys". The cost of the Rock Café this year was Ł5 for the week or Ł2 per night if you chose to pay for each night individually. Attending Rock Café entitled children and their families to attend the Celebration Fun Day and BBQ on the Sunday (as for The BIG Top) without extra charge.
