Best summer holiday picks for 2019

-
Summer is finally upon us! So long to fluffy socks, stuffy noses and cable-knit sweat shirts (for now, anyway) and a very warm welcome to beer gardens, burnt shoulders and busy beaches. More importantly, it's that time of the year where we all take the opportunity to jet off to somewhere new.


Bring on the clear blue skies; we're ready!

But whilst there's plenty to choose from, finding the perfect destination can be a bit overwhelming. So, to make those tough decisions that little bit easier, here are our top holiday destinations for summer 2019.

Bangkok


Currently in the running to be the best shopping destination in Thailand, the bustling city of Bangkok is the best holiday for history lovers.

In the city, which has a population of over 9 million people, you can find The Grand Palace. Once home to the Thai King, the palace was built in 1782 and contains an Emerald Buddha which dates back to the 14th century.

Plus, if you're looking for warmer weather, it's also one of the hottest cities in the world! Time to dig out that factor 30. 
Meanwhile, if you have no big travel plans this summer season you can always visit the Lady Boys of Bangkok on their UK tour for a taste of Thailand at home.

Majorca


Whether you're obsessing over Love Island this summer or not (or made to watch it by your partner and secretly love it) there's no denying we all wouldn’t mind laying around a villa surrounded by good looking people and free food.


Majorca, which is located in the Mediterranean, is home to soft, sandy beaches, crystal clear coves and, most importantly, fantastic weather! And as the largest island in the whole of Spain, you won’t be short of things to do and see.

Las Vegas 


With over 100 casinos, a multitude of bars and clubs and famous residencies, Sin City isn't for the faint hearted.


In 2018, there were reported to be 150,000 hotel rooms in Las Vegas

It's also the perfect place no matter your current marital status. Virgin have recently announced three break-up packages to heal your heartache and celebrate singledom. And with prices starting at £999pp, it could even work out cheaper than a wedding.

A brief history of clowns to celebrate Andreea's birthday!

-

Hip hip hooray! It’s our crazy clown Andreea’s birthday! The lovable Andreea has been appearing in shows with Gandeys Circus for nearly a decade. Now Andreea is actually French – so perhaps we should say ‘bon anniversaire’! We’re proud to have Andreea as part of our current team in the big top at Butlin’s Skegness . While our other clowns – currently performing at Butlin’s Bognor Regis and Minehead – Bippo and Chico Rico are more traditional, Andreea opts to show off her sense of style with an offbeat modern look. We think her pink tutu / Converse / blazer combo is pretty iconic… especially paired with her blasting boombox! (she’s never been shy of making an entrance). Andreea likes interrupting the action with her silly routines. And you know something else… she is the UK’s only female clown! So you could say she’s a bit of an innovator when it comes to clowning around. With that in mind, let’s look at how much clowns have changed ov

Origins of the Chinese Circus

200 BC – 200 AD – Han Dynasty, Sichuan Province – Juggler with balls and knives – Carving, stone of the “Hundred Games.” [source: Chinese Acrobatics Through The Ages, p15] The origins of the Chinese circus are not entirely crystal clear. There are debates and differing opinions when it comes to the exact history behind the circus, which is not a surprise when you take into account how long it has been around! First records of the Chinese circus - including carvings and mural paintings - date back more than 2,000 years to the Warring States period (475–221 BC), with evidence of performances developing further during the Qin and Han Dynasties (221 BC - 230 AD). Although it is believed that the art may have actually started around 3,000 years ago! One theory is that the acts originated in imperial courts, with performers entertaining the houses in a manner similar to western court jesters. However, it is more likely that the circus was a folk art that was later adopted by

In honour of International Women's Day and the 'Women in Circus' movement, we would like to share these photos of strong women with whom we have worked - past and present. Women who inspire us here at Gandey World Class Productions , and who influence and empower other women across the world. There are many strong circus women who we have not mentioned here. Please be aware that this list is by no means definitive – there are so many more strong women whom we would have loved to include, and who remain an important part of the Gandey family. The pictures can also be found in a Flickr album here .
