A CIRCUS with a purpose is coming to Northleach this month to perform its all-human big top show.

Circus Starr is touring the UK whilst raising money for charities like the Children's Hospice South West, the Anthony Nolan Trust and Acorn's Children's Hospice.

The show will be coming to the Cotswolds at the end of the month with traditional acts such as clowns, tight-rope walkers, and aerial acts.

Circus Starr spokesman Gemma Hutton said: "There will be daft things like clowns throwing wallpaper paste and silly jokes.

"It is a show for all the family and the adults will enjoy it as much as the children."

The big top will be next to the Westwood Centre in Northleach on May 31 with performances at 4.45pm and 7pm.
