A CIRCUS which has wild and domestic animals has arrived in Kington.

Peter Jolly’s Circus which is advertised as a ‘traditional animal circus’ is due to be holding shows in a field outside the market town until Sunday.

The circus’ website states: “All our animals are part of our circus family so we take special care to meet all their welfare needs.

“No animals are banned from performing in the circus. A special license is required to use wild animals in England. Peter Jolly’s Circus is one of only two circuses in England that has been a licence by the Secretary of State to use wild animals after strict inspections by government approved inspectors.”

Visitors can also pay extra to see the animals after the show.

Despite this visitors to Kington have branded the circus as ‘quite appalling’ after seeing a zebra, camel and horses next to the A44.
