Giffords Circus weaves together a cast of acrobats, magicians, musicians, and clowns from all over the world in a show that combines poetry, music and performing arts. And it's latest show Avalon is being performed just down the road from Bristol.
The show - which is at Bowood House in Wiltshire next week - aims to 'transport the audience to a colourful medieval world of pageantry and Arthurian legend'. It features lavish costumes, opulent set, and a live band.
Director Cal McCrystal said: “Giffords Circus is so much more than a circus. To come to Giffords is to immerse yourself in another world and escape everyday life for a few blissful hours.
