Childhood Memories - Giffords Circus War and Peace

The Giffords Circus magic worked the epic Russian Novel War and Peace into a fun family show for all ages in Tackley this weekend!
The acts - new and old - amaze not only with their circus skills but in their versitility, everybody gets involved in the storytelling aspect of a Giffords performance, musicians sing, dance and act as well as play the toe tapping, hand clapping music!

If you need inspiration to read War and Peace then this is it! Daring and beauty abound, the costumes are fabulous and the silks artiste creates a dreamy scene that takes your breath away!

Our children loved the story that is woven into the performance, each act thrills from the jugglers Bibi and Bichu (who nearly set fire to the floor!) who juggle with a sense of humour to Tweedy the clown who manages to get into everything!


At the end of each performance the children are invited down to the ring to sing and dance with the cast - it's a magical memory, just what a childhood should be made from! Just make sure you do a headcount in the car going home - some of your family (young or old) may be tempted to runaway with the circus!
