TEN years of Lighthouse Poole is celebrated with a Family Circus Fun Day that promises to be non-stop fun for all ages. The venue throws open its doors on Sunday, October 14.
Formerly known as Poole Arts Centre, the venue re-opened in 2002 as Lighthouse, Poole’s Centre for the Arts following an extensive refurbishment programme, and is to celebrate ten years by offering the local community the chance to get upside down and inside out with a free day of performances from circus artists, plus a whole host of activities for all the family to join in with.
Visitors on the day can enjoy everything from Gandini juggling performances, taster workshops and French circus clowns to BMX skills, stilt walkers, Jamie Jigsaw, circus skills workshops, juggling, plate spinning and Diablo with plenty more entertainment.
Hazel Evans, Lighthouse’s resident visual artist, dares you to let your imagination lead you into our circus world, while the Dorset School of Acting will be exploring The Circus of Life and presenting a view on the Victorian freak show.
Paul Tucker, Lighthouse communications officer, said: “We can’t think of a better or more exciting way to celebrate our 10th birthday.”
