ALL the fun of the circus comes to the Memorial Hall in Presteigne when The National Clown Theatre presents a special matinee at 2.30pm on Sunday.

Combining the comedy of pantomime with the thrill of the circus the special 80 minute performance features some of Britain's funniest clowns, traditional slapstick, magic, a human slinky acrobat, high flying diabolos, wild spinning plates, balancing, puppets, prizes and surprises.

There is even a performing piranha fish.

"We are bringing bucketful's of laughs for our first ever appearance in Presteigne" said Charlie Cheesecake, the shows chief laughter maker.

"This is part of a nation wide tour bringing miles of smiles throughout Britain.

"Whatever the weather this is a show for all the family."
