Book now for Giffords Circus in London

Giffords Circus is one seriously hot ticket. Last year, the circus welcomed 10,000 people and there were still plenty who didn't book early enough and were left disappointed. It may be on tour from May until September, but it is only at Chiswick House for three weeks, so you need to book tickets now if you want any hope of seeing it in London.

Giffords Circus truly embraces the spirit of an old-fashioned Victorian circus, starring acrobats, clowns, jugglers and a menagerie of talented (well treated) animals horsing about. Each year has a different theme: last year, the festivities have a Western slant, with a show called: A Painted Wagon. This year the theme is Any Port in a Storm, a Baroque inspired show.

Expect to see another great international team including a Cuban troupe, a Hungarian Csikos rider and a Ukrainian flyer. Household favourite Tweedy returns to run amok alongside the fabulous Giffords Circus band.

Giffords also has a unique 60-seat travelling restaurant called Circus Sauce that's part of the circus on tour. Starlit suppers with the artistes can be booked here. It's a delicious three-course meal made with the very best fresh, seasonal and local ingredients.

Best of all, you don't have to go to the Cotswolds to get the Giffords magic. Just make sure you book pronto; the London dates are sure to sell out in a flash.
