Where: Various venues in Gloucestershire and beyond

When: May 4 to September 30

Giffords Circus is busy preparing for yet another sensational summer season touring around the Cotswolds and beyond.

Tickets are now on sale for 'My Beautiful Circus', a family-friendly 90 minute show, suitable for all ages.

Circus founder Nell Gifford said: "In 2018 Giffords Circus celebrates the birth of circus which happened near Westminster Bridge in London in 1768, and is, in our view, the most bonkers, surprising, diverse and life-affirming art form there is."

Giffords Circus begins its 2018 season on Friday, May 4, at Fennells Farm, Stroud, and for the next five months its iconic wagons can be seen touring round the Cotswolds and the south of England.

Locations where you can catch the circus in Gloucestershire include Sudeley Castle, Winchcombe; Frampton-on-Severn Village Green; Minchinhampton Common and Stratton Meadows, Cirencester. The season ends back at Fennels Farm, Stroud, from September 27-30.
