YOUNGSTERS at the Allertonshire School in Northallerton are getting the chance to learn some spectacular skills later this month - at a circus workshop.

Run by the Skylight Circus, the workshop, on November 18 and 19, gives youngsters the chance to learn or develop skills like juggling, plate-spinning, tightrope walking, stilt-walking and even uni-cycling.

The weekend concludes with a chance for the youngsters to show off their new-found skills at a show for parents and friends.

For those who take part in the workshop there is a charge of £12.

The rest of the cost is being subsidised by Yorkshire and Humberside Arts and the school's PGSA
