UNICYCLING, juggling and tightrope walking kept children busy at a circus skills fun day.

Nearly 20 youngsters, aged seven and older, joined the workshop with three members of Bee-Line, who were all dressed as clowns.

Boys and girls were treated to a special performance by the trio, who showed their skills before helping the youngsters to have a go themselves.

Chris Chitty, manager of Harwich Sports Centre, said: “All the kids had a brilliant time and it was really nice to see them having fun and enjoying themselves.”

“They had a go on a low tightrope, plate spinning, unicycles, balancing on big balls and juggling with pins.”

The group performed another workshop at Manningtree Sports Centre the same day.
