Under the Big Top and on the Football Pitch: How Gandeys Circus Is Supporting Our Youth

This season, the vibrant sights and sounds of Gandeys Circus have extended far beyond the big top — reaching into the heart of our community and onto the football field as proud sponsors of Congleton Town Football Club’s youth team.

A Local Legacy of Entertainment and Community

Based in Congleton, Cheshire, Gandeys Circus has been a beloved fixture in British live entertainment for generations. With roots stretching back over a century — the family-run circus has grown into a respected institution that continues to bring wonder to audiences across the UK and internationally.

Today, Gandey World Class Productions, brings Gandeys Circus show ranging from thrilling acrobatics and dazzling clown acts to the immersive K-Pop Dragon Circus experiences that blend global cultures under the iconic big top.

Supporting Our Young Athletes

This season, we have taken this commitment to community engagement a step further by sponsoring Congleton Town FC’s youth team. Their support has helped provide vital resources — from kit funding to training gear — ensuring that young players have what they need to thrive both on and off the pitch.

For grassroots clubs like ours, sponsorship isn’t just about branding. It’s about empowering young people to enjoy sport, build confidence, and develop teamwork and resilience. With the backing of a well-known and well-loved organisation like Gandeys Circus, our youth teams are better equipped to chase their goals and create lasting memories this season.

Why This Matters

Youth football relies heavily on the generosity of local sponsors to keep costs manageable and opportunities accessible for all children. Contributions like those from Gandeys Circus help cover essential expenses such as:

  • Team kits and training equipment

  • Matchday resources

  • Coaching and development programmes

Thanks to this support, young players can focus on what matters most: enjoying the game, improving their skills, and representing Congleton with pride.

A Winning Partnership

Bringing together the excitement of Gandeys Circus and the passion of Congleton’s youth football community shows what’s possible when local organisations invest in shared values — fun, growth, and community spirit.

Here’s to a fantastic season of football, new friendships, and continued support from partners who care about our town and its young people. Thank you, Gandeys Circus! 🎪⚽💙
