     The afternoon of Saturday 21st September 2013 saw the Circus Starr come to town. The girls were given the opportunity to visit this circus for charity because of the kind donation of tickets from the Blackpool Young Carers Charity.

The girls had ringside seats for the performance and were able to see everything and enjoy the variety of performers.

There was a variety of  performers all introduced by the Ringmaster.

There were trapize artists,

high level acrobats,

the amazing balancing Lady,

there was an opportunity to have pictures taken with Circus animals during the interval,

as well as being able to purchase snacks and the all important light up souvenires,

death defying spinning high flying performers,

the magical magician,

the brilliant tribal dancing acrobats,

the wonderfully funny clown,

and the show finale.

                             

Then it was time to go home after a wonderfull time was had by all. 

Lily and Katie will be doing work based on their visit to the Circus next week.
