To coincide with the Sunningwell Festival of Music and Arts, Giffords will stage seven performances over three days (9th-11th June) in the field behind the Village Hall. Toti and Nell Gifford started Giffords Circus in 2000. Their vision was of a miniature village green circus, packed, rowdy, glamorous - birds and horses and motorbikes bursting from a fluttering white tent - a show for rural families, farmers and filmstars. Since 2000 the Giffords Circus company of painted wagons has toured the rural Southwest, moving every week, and entertained over 250,000 people. Giffords Circus has become synonymous for the inspiring musicality that each show is filled with and is consistently recommended as a great family day out by local and national press alike. Local interest in this event is likely to be extremely high so if you are thinking of coming to see the show, book early to avoid disappointment. Tickets should be booked directly with Giffords Circus.
