🎪The circus is in town🎪

Gifford’s Circus is the most magical village green circus that tours England between spring and Autumn.

From 17th to 28th July they are 5 minutes down the road from us in Barrington, and it’s must have on the calendar.

To celebrate their 25tb Anjiversary, this year’s show ‘Laguna Bay’ promises to be their most ambitious show to date. A spectacular blend of fun, excitement and charm, it includes some new and old faces who will surprise and delight the Giffords Circus audiences.

From trapeze artists to jugglers, tiny ponies to incredible musicians, it really is the most magical of family entertainment, not to mention the return of hilarious and talented Tweedy and his faithful iron ‘Keef’.

Take a picnic to enjoy before the show or sample the delights of Circus Sauce, and finish with a drink The Fox At Barrington just across the road.

Book yourself a couple of nights in one of our huts and enjoy the magic.
