Are you looking for something fun, cheap and local to do with the kids this Saturday?
HAVAGO CIRCUS IS BACK!
It’s not an actual circus, but a load of different skill toys to get you active and having fun! There’s something for everyone, all ages (toddlers, kids, teens and adults) and all skill levels. Can you juggle? Stilt walk? Hula-hoop? Ride a unicycle? Ride a clown bike? Throw a ball? Throw a diabolo?? I will be on Browns Bay’s grassy beach front (close to the playground) between 10:30am and 2pm to help you learn! Please bring some coins to put into the collection box to help towards the equipment (I do this for free, but appreciate a donation towards the toys). There’s some cool stuff which you might not have seen before, and some old retro toys you haven’t seen in a looong time!

Please check the facebook page for updates as times may change if weather is unsuitable. www.facebook.com...
