How did I spend Father’s Day?

At the circus with my family, of course!

We caught Giffords Circus in Oxford, as part of their annual summer tour.

We’ve seen them every year for the past three years, and it never disappoints!

Visit their website for full details of forthcoming shows.

“It’s not your average big tent affair but a wonderland. It’s the best live show I’ve ever seen. I’d love to join the circus”

— Rachel Weisz, Harpers Bazaar

Giffords Circus was formed in 2000, and has been touring England every summer since then, with a different theme each year.

This summer, the theme is Xanadu!

They are currently on tour until the end of September.

This is a traditional circus, with acrobats, trapeze artists, clowning around, live music, horses and colourful costumes, best enjoyed with candy floss, popcorn and sweets!
