Circus with top acts

Traditional circus with a continental flavour will arrive in the county this week when Le Cirque de France pitches its big top in Ramsgate. The latest production from French brothers Ernest and Roger Santus, titled Trapeze, features top performers from across the globe. Each show includes flying trapeze, high wire, knife-throwing, juggling, a mystifying quick-change act and gentle friendly clowning. It all takes place in a colourful, heated marquee. Admission costs from £9 and the fun unfolds at Manston Road from Wednesday, June 26, to Sunday, June 30. Call 07843 884787, 07952 418487 or visit www.santuscircus.co.uk
