Eastcombe WI with Nell Gifford of Giffords Circus

THE first 2017 meeting of Eastcombe WI commenced with a full business agenda – indicative of a full and exciting year ahead.

Then visitors were welcomed, and the speaker, Nell Gifford, commenced a heart-warming and humorous review of her life.

From early years, through her gap year, involving circus work in America, followed by Oxford University, culminating in a degree in English.

Nell’s talk was awe-inspiring – a passion developed over the years has resulted in Giffords Circus.

Established in 2000 along with her husband Toti, the family-run vintage style show is presented between May to September, predominantly across the South West from village green sites.

The audience had praise for the show and questions a-plenty, including, “How do I join the circus?”
