WORCESTER Arts Workshop is hoping to put the sizzle into summer with an array of hot events for the start of the school holidays.

First up, it's show time in the Big Top. Any five to 11-year-old who ever fancied trying their hand at juggling, thinks they can spin a plate, throw a diablo, or balance on a pedalgo is being dared to clown around at the Sansome Street-based venue.

This particular workshop takes place from Monday, July 24, to Friday, July 28, from 10.30am -12.30pm, and costs £5 per session or £22 for all five days.

Those who like to get themselves dirty are also being encouraged to find out what happens in a pond, search under the weeds, and make some fascinating discoveries.

Again, the event takes place from Monday, July 24 to Friday July 28, but this time it is from 1.30 - 3.30 and is aimed at children aged seven -11.

From Monday, July 31 to Friday, August 4, there's a week of drama will see youngsters discovering what it would it be like to walk with aliens. For more information call 01905 21095.
