A long-forgotten travelling circus is set to return to Yorkshire this summer - and it's stopping off at Harrogate's Valley Gardens.
The Great Yorkshire Circus will tour Yorkshire for a limited eight-week run under a modern big top, combining traditional circus skills with a 'strong theatrical feel'.
Audiences can expect a mix of aerial performance, ground based acts, music and family-friendly entertainment.
And it's visiting Valley Gardens in Harrogate from Wednesday 19th - Sunday 30th August.
The production has been designed as an intimate experience, with just 250 seats per performance, creating a close up and engaging atmosphere.
Local theatre producer Jamie Hudson, of Yeadon Town Hall Theatre, said:
“This has been two years in the making. It started with a single discovery and has grown into a full touring production.
"We wanted to create something that feels traditional, accessible and genuinely magical for families.”
The Yorkshire Circus will also visit Ripon's Spa Gardens from Wednesday 2nd - Sunday 6th September.
Tickets are available now at www.greatyorkshirecircus.com.
