Three clowns in top hats and elaborate costumes stand close together, smiling with exaggerated makeup. The central figure is a woman, flanked by two men, all with a theatrical and slightly unsettling appearance against a blurred background of festive lights.

Quick Actions

Tips & Advice

  • Arrive early, especially on weekends or during peak Halloween dates, as tickets may sell out and on-site box office availability can be limited closer to showtime.
  • Consider booking tickets in advance, particularly for family packages or premium seating, to secure your preferred date and time, and to take advantage of potential early bird offers.
  • Check the Gandeys Circus Facebook or Instagram pages for any last-minute special offers or updates on show information before your visit.
  • Dress in layers as the Big Top can be warm once the show starts, and bring a light jacket for cooler evenings or if you tend to feel the cold.
  • If bringing young children, be aware that while suitable for all ages, some acts may be intense; consider the 'Side' or 'Circle' seating for a slightly less immersive experience if needed.
