During the run up to the festival weekend Circus Ferrel will be running workshops for several local schools and other groups in their colourful Big Top and will give performance and workshops in local care facilities.

The enthusiastic and talented troupe will be staging several fun and family friendly live shows over the festival weekend with circus characters entertaining the crowds on the meadow in the morning and between shows.

"This will be a really exciting week for Welborne and a great opportunity for the youngsters of the area to enjoy a whole week of circus activities" says owner and clown Marty Ferrel. So be sure to make a date in your diary and join in the fun!
