context_page_description: Chipperfield's Circus is a long-running British family touring show, continuing a 300-year-old family business.
  Chipperfield's Circus started with James Chipperfield with his performing animals at the Thames Frost Fair of 1684. 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 biggest in Europe, with a tent that could hold 6000 people. The family in the same headship diversified into safari parks and supplying fairgrounds supplies, and since his death in 1990, the circus has toured only intermittently, sometimes featuring members of the extended Chipperfield family.
