Giffords Circus has delighted audiences throughout the Cotswolds and surrounding areas since its launch at the Hay on Wye literary Festival in 2000. It is based around a miniature, vintage style circus and has fast become an essential summertime experience for thousands of people who return to see the show each year. The tent, with a capacity of 360, helps to create an intimate atmosphere where the audience feel part of the show.

The show weaves together Russian Cossack riders, an English opera singer, a hilarious clown, stunt riders, acrobats, dancers, musicians along with the magic and imagery, which is part of the whole experience.

The show takes place in a white waterproof tent and the seating consists of wooden benches (you are welcome to bring a cushion!). Doors open 30 minutes before the show.
