Circus rolls into Whitchurch

Roll up! Roll up! One of the last remaining animal circuses in the country is providing fun and entertainment after arriving in Whitchurch.

Circus Mondao pitched up yesterday, bringing with them a whole array of animals including zebras, llamas, horses and donkeys.

It will be based at Whitchurch Rugby and Hockey Club in Edgeley Road until Sunday.

Petra Jackson, ringmistress for Circus Mondao, said: "We are a traditional circus aimed at all the family.

"We love doing the show and love putting smiles on people's faces.

"Our performance features a range of animals who we love and treat like members of the family."
