Roll-up roll-up for the circus is coming to town.

A care home in Farnworth is hosting its very own circus for the community - and are looking acts and fairground rides to hire.

They are hoping stilt walkers, fire eaters, jugglers magicians and more will step forward to bring fun to the area after Covid.

A spokesperson for Farnworth Care Home said: "Due to Covid we have not been able to live our normal lives or come together as a community.

"However, we are trying our hardest to bring everything back to normal providing a nice day of activities for the families and residents to enjoy and we hope to make it fun for all.

"Also, we hope to provide our hard-working staff with a relaxing dat to show our many thanks for all they do for us."

The circus will take place in the first week of August.

Whilst they are planning a fun day, they are looking to hire stilt walkers, fire eaters, jugglers, magicians, a bouncy castle, carousel ride and medival stocks.
