<p>Hugh Grant once said that Giffords Circus is the most fun you can have in a tent, and we&#8217;re inclined to agree. The shows are always captivating and this year, rumour has it the whole spectacle will have a Mexican theme, which we&#8217;re fully on board with. <a href="https://giffordscircus.com/location/bowood-house-gardens/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Book tickets (opens in a new tab)">Book tickets</a>. </p>

<p>If you&#8217;re missing your annual trips to the Balearics (we know we&#8217;re not the only ones) this is *almost* the same. The grounds of Bowood are transformed into the super club of our dreams with classic dance bangers reinterpreted by the Urban Soul Orchestra. The evening begins with a chilled out set (think sun down drinks at a clifftop beach bar) before building into sets of soul-lifting anthems. If the sun is shining, you can almost imagine you&#8217;re on the white island&#8230;</p>
