  Our long awaited 2021 Gandeys Circus Unbelievable Tour, which takes us 'Around the World in 80 minutes' begins its journey in the beautiful and historic town of Knutsford, Cheshire.   One of the most visited towns in the area, lying near Cheshire’s 'Golden Triangle ' on the Cheshire Plains, between the Peak District to the east and the Welsh mountains to the west.   A little town steeped in history.  Its name is mentioned as farback in time as William the Conquerors Domesday Book of 1086 .  It is believed that King Canute crossed the river Lily at a particularly dangerous point, hence 'Canute's Ford '   Its architecture is not typical of Cheshire.  Why?  Due to the influence of a local entrepreneur  Richard Harding Watt .  On his   travels around Europe and Asia in the late 18th and early 19th century, he was inspired by the architecture he viewed. ( We bet it took him longer than 80 minutes to travel around the worl...

Each act is a few minutes long before moving on to a different act. There isn’t a moment when the audience isn’t transfixed by the stage. Unlike many such shows, the Chinese St...

Here at Gandeys World Class Productions we have produced some of the most popular shows around the globe for over 40 years.  We pride ourselves on successfully providing diverse entertainment in complex and challenging environments, where many have failed before.  Mostly, we pride ourselves in being a tight-knit company where all who work with us are treated as our 'Gandey Family'. Romy Bauer, Contortionist, began working with Gandeys from her very early years and has never looked back. We asked her what it was like to work with Gandeys and how she got into circus.  "My name is Romy Bauer. My parents were both in circus, and their parents and their parents - actually I'm not sure how far back my family has worked in the business but I know it's many, many generations! I was lucky enough to be born into this business and have always loved it. Day-to-day I perform an aerial contortion. I have a globe act - which is a giant crys...
