The circus is one of the original forms of travelling theatres dating back to when many towns didn't have their own venue.
After the Second World War, Gandey's was part of a massive push for 'Holidays at Home' where it encouraged people to visit their parks and help their local economy.
75 years on, Gandey's is still providing a family-friendly experience.
Unlike last year, when capacity was reduced to under 400 people in the red top due to social distancing, this year's shows will see around 1,000 spectators.
