IT was action all the way as hundreds of circus skills enthusiasts from across the country descended on County Durham for the 16th Durham Juggling Convention.
One of the biggest circus events in the UK, it featured a host of workshops in skills such as juggling, unicycling and slacklining.
The event at Wolsingham School was organised by Durham City Jugglers in conjunction with Juggling and Unicycling Stockton (JUST) and Five Ring Circus, the North-East's youth circus group.
Up to 250 people attended the weekend-long convention, highlights of which included a cabaret-style show on Saturday night compered by US entertainer Todd Various.
The event concluded today (Sunday, October 21) with a Youth Circus Cabaret, which gave solo acts, duos and groups the chance to showcase their skills.
