Children's Entertainment - Giffords Circus


Ptolemy Toys is off to Giffords Circus today and we are sooo excited! This is probably our favourite annual treat and this year tweedy the clown is back so we are overjoyed! Lots has already been written about Giffords and it's growing in popularity each year tickets sell out faster and faster!

There are lots of reasons it's popular, it's good old traditional entertainment that enthrals every generation from the little ones sitting on laps to grannies who remember circus entertainment at its best from their childhood. We have been going since our children were 3 and today we'll have children from 6 to 13 as well as grandparents whose age we'd better not disclose!

Intimate and atmospheric the Gifford's circus ring is a magical place, a place of dreams and story telling - each year there is a theme - this year it's War and Peace (no we haven't read it!) that pulls all the amazing circus acts together with a brilliant musical score that keeps your feet tapping throughout!

From experience we know we'll be humming the tunes and rhythms of today's performance for weeks to come - and talking about our favourite acts! Like all good family entertainment it sparks conversation, pulls parents back to the world of imaginative story telling and creation!


We'll tell you all about it but if you want to find out more visit www.giffordscircus.com/
