A CHINESE acrobat was on hand to dazzle young and old alike at a library.
A host of families enjoying half term and older residents visited Colchester’s town centre library yesterday morning to watch acrobat and entertainer Ling perform a ribbon dance, walk on stilts, juggle with her feet and more.
The event, part of Essex County Council’s festival to celebrate 20 years of friendship with China’s Jiangsu province, also included craft activities and tales from a Chinese storyteller.
Jane Stanway, audience development officer, said: “I think it’s fair to say everyone had a great time and they learned something about a different culture as well.”
