Historique
Chipperfield's Circus is a British family touring show, continuing a 300-year-old family business. It originates with James Chipperfield with his performing animals at the Thames Frost Fair of 1864. Through the 19th century, the circus toured all of England, with a menagerie of animals, teams of acrobats and clowns. After World War II, under the management of Jimmy Chipperfield, the circus became one of the largest in Europe, with a tent that could hold 6,000 people
