Gandeys Circus returns at Halloween
Following the announcement that outdoor theatre can open from 11 July, Gandeys Circus appears to be the first big top show to announce show dates, with a Halloween Spooktacular in the West Midlands from 21 October to 1 November.
Gandeys has been working with the government and Bourne Leisure, owners of Butlins holiday camps, to pilot an airflow system and other logistics to make circus safe in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
For bookings and showtimes, visit Gandeys Circus website.
Gandeys' director, third generation circus man Phillip Gandey, has a history of innovative productions including the Chinese State Circus, Spirit of the Horse and charity circus Circus Starr, which raises funds to entertain ill and disadvantaged children. For the full story of the remarkable Circus Starr, click here.

And if you want to know what's like to live and work in the big top, read about it in the words of the clowns, trapeze artists, tiger trainers and showmen that I interviewed for Circus Mania - The Ultimate Book For Anyone Who Dreamed of Running Away with the Circus.
