On the night of Saturday 24th September the Twilight Circus will welcome autumn at the Equinox Festival, at the historic Valley House. This also is a free, but ticketed, event. Tickets now available via EventBrite.
And to round off a unique weekend of circus performance, on Sunday 25th September the Straw Bale Theatre returns to Dugort with a full day of acts, shenanigans and musical mayhem.
