We are delighted to be joined by Fools Delight Circus founder, Cyr wheel artist and singer Lil Rice.
From a young age, under the watchful eye of her aunt, circus founder and ring mistress Nell Gifford, Lil would assist at Giffords Circus, eventually going on to perform under the big top. It wasn’t until a chance encounter with world renowned clown, Sam Goodburn, that Fools Delight Circus was created. Along with Lil’s husband, Head Chef Dave Cross, the trio create and perform magical and theatrical shows hosted in between delicious food courses.
As Fools Delight returns to Ham Court, Bampton for its summer production this August, Lil takes time away from the final preparations to share her favourite spots, watering holes and foodie recommendations.
Since 2018.
The Heavens in Stroud.
The view from Minchinhampton Common.
The lakes at Woodchester Park.
Any river in the Cotswolds!
… but that would be telling!
Any of the old burial mounds; Wayland’s Smithy in Ashbury and nearby Uffington White Horse, the oldest chalk-cut hill figure in Britain.
Giffords Circus Sauce restaurant or our Fools Delight Circus dinner, obviously.
The Morris Clown in Bampton!
That it is always full of tourists – there are so many more secret lovely places to discover.
Rolling, green, rivers.
All imagery is kindly shared by Lil, you can see her along with the rest of the Fools Delight Circus in SPINSTER, from 3rd to 18th August at Ham Court, Bampton, Oxfordshire.
Autumn in the Cotswolds unfolds gently. Warmth gives way to stillness, shadows lengthen and the landscape softens. Crisp air carries the faint scent of wood smoke and damp earth, villages are framed by copper beech trees, and log fires crackle…...
Rooted in nature, each wellness experience is designed to restore and realign, gently encouraging guests to slow down and reconnect.
