SCHOOLCHILDREN are practising their circus skills ready for three performances later this month.

Fifteen members of Richmond School's circus club will take part in shows on Tuesday to Thursday, July 19 to 21, starting at 7pm each night.

During the shows, pupils will juggle with fire and skip while riding unicycles.

The performances are taking place after a similar undertaking last year was a hit with audiences.

Tickets can be bought from the school on (01748) 850111.

They cost £5 for adults and £3 for concessions. Family tickets, for two adults and two children, cost £15.
