THE high wire has been set up, the jugglers' clubs have been polished and the facepaint is ready to be applied as Continental Circus Berlin rolls in to town.

The blue big top has been set up on Worcester Racecourse and is ready to welcome families from today for shows which include Valentin and Partica who will be walking on the high wire on stilts and riding a bike, the wheel of death and fire limboing.

David Fitzgerald, general manager said: “It will be a fun show for all the family.”

Shows take place today (Wednesday) to Friday at 5pm and 7.45pm, Saturday at 3pm and 6pm and Sunday at 2pm and 5pm.
