Giffords Circus has announced its 2025 tour dates and hinted that a popular cast member is returning for its 25th anniversary.

Celebrating its 25th anniversary next year, Giffords Circus has announced its 2025 tour dates.

The show gets on the road from Thursday 17 April and runs until Sunday 28 September 2025, starting and ending at Giffords HQ at Fennells Farm near Stroud, visiting Gloucestershire venues including Sudeley Castle in Winchcombe, Frampton-on-Severn, Minchinhampton Common and Stratton Meadows along the way — as well as Wiltshire, Oxfordshire and London. 

No details about the theme have been announced yet, but it has confirmed that long-time director Cal McCrystal is once again at the helm in a tropical-themed social post this October 2024.

And while Giffords hasn't made an official announcement, this sneaky Instagram post would indicate that Tweedy the Clown may well be back under the big top next year...

Tweedy took a break from Giffords in 2024, hosting Tweedy's Massive Circus for the first time ever this summer, but he hinted in an exclusive interview with SoGlos that he hoped to be back with Giffords in 2025.

And while he was missed, Giffords first-timer Tyler West brought his own unique brand of comedy to Avalon — with some fans hoping to see Tyler and Tweedy performing together next time.

Tickets for Giffords Circus 2025 and Circus Sauce are already on sale, costing from £25 for adults and from £15 for children.
