Come along and clown around - 2008-11-27

ROLL up, roll up! The Circus is coming to town!

As part of Stockton's first ever Christmas Market Fair, Zippo Festival Circus is here - and you can enjoy all the fun for free!

The 500 seat circus tent will be on Stockton's Riverside during the Market Fair, running from Thursday to Sunday, 27 - 30 November.

Young and old alike will get into the Christmas spirit as the Circus follows the tale of Rudolph looking for his beloved Santa around the world and bumping into a host of characters along the way.

Each 45 minute show features a fantastic line up of jugglers, clowns, acrobats and you will be able to join in with the festive sing-a-longs!

Although the circus is free, tickets must be obtained in advance.

They will be available two days before each show from Stockton's Tourist Information Centre in Central Library and one hour before each performance at the Circus tent or from the information trailer on Stockton High Street.

There is a maximum of six tickets per person and must be collected by over 16s only.

On Thursday, 27 you can head along for the shows at 5.30pm and 7pm. On Friday, 28 performances start at 5.30pm and 7pm, while on Saturday, 29 there are four shows at 1pm, 3pm, 5.30pm and 7pm.

The final day of the Fair on Sunday, 30 sees the Circus shows at 12.30pm and 2.30pm.
