Explore Gandey’s Circus at Bolesworth Castle
A Family Adventure in Historic England
This season, the historic Bolesworth Castle in Cheshire is set to host a truly magical event as Gandey’s Circus makes its grand appearance on this prestigious estate. Situated half a mile from Liverpool’s city centre, Bolesworth Castle is not only a charming property but also an integral part of England’s history.
Listed on the National Heritage List for England, it reflects the legacy and vision of William Cole, who began building the estate in the early 19th century.
Since then, the castle has become part of the Barbour family’s heritage, with Anthony Barbour playing a major role in shaping the estate into the cultural treasure it is today. Under the care of the Barbours, Bolesworth Castle has evolved into a dynamic location for various gatherings and events, including the famous Bolesworth International equestrian show.
This transformation reflects the family’s commitment to blending historic England with present-day entertainment, drawing families and visitors from across the UK and beyond.
For this event, Gandey’s Circus will take over the castle’s scenic grounds, combining classic circus magic with a setting that is pure English charm of the national Heritage list.
The garden spaces and scenic areas around Bolesworth make it a memorable day out, especially for children who will love exploring the estate, from the bridges to the rolling lawns. Maps and signs around the site help families navigate the grounds and find the best spots to enjoy the event.
Not only does the estate offer picturesque views, but it’s also an ideal site for creating family memories and dreams. The bridge crossing the serene lake, views of the house, and green surroundings all contribute to Bolesworth’s unique atmosphere.
The event is also conveniently located for those coming from the south, Upper Cheshire, or Liverpool, with access information and parking well-organized to ensure everyone can enjoy the show with ease.
Gandey’s Circus will bring a delightful mix of thrilling acts, including gravity-defying stunts that make audiences jump with excitement, laughter, and applause.
The performances are curated to entertain guests of all ages, making it a perfect day out for families, friends, and anyone looking to immerse themselves in circus culture and classic entertainment.
