Make your own Giffords Circus Ring

Gravity-defying acrobats, mischievous clowns, bareback horse riders and thoughtful creative direction... Giffords Circus is a breath-taking spectacular of diverse talent. Originally homegrown in the Cotswolds, the circus now tours the country and is loved by British celebrities like Stella McCartney, Helena Bonham Carter and Lily Allen.
