SMILING faces beamed out from the town's Lido Park last Tuesday when the circus came to Droitwich Spa.

More than a hundred people turned out for the fun event, which was organised by Wychavon District Council.

During the day youngsters and adults alike were taught circus skills such as uni-cycling, stilt-walking and juggling.

A show bursting with circus skills, called Phillipe-Philoppe, took place at 1pm. Wychavon leisure officer Louise Fenon said this inspired more youngsters to take part.
