A new circus group which has just secured Lottery funding to run community workshops in rural areas put on a weekend show for villagers.

Nikkiita Mclusky, of Leadenham, has gathered together fellow professionals to create Circus Starlight, with Lottery funding to acquire a big top to bring free performing skills workshops and sessions to community groups in remote areas.

As a preview to their Christmas show, the team put on dancing, acrobatics, bubbles, hoops and clowning in the garden at The George in Leadenham on Sunday.

Nikkiita said it went really well with a great turnout. She will run more circus skills workshops in September.
