WAREHAM Recreation Ground is one of the venues set to be visited by the Netherlands National Circus next month, as part of its new UK tour.

The Big Top will host daily shows from August 2-6, boasting an international troupe of more than 30 performers.

These include the acclaimed aerial acrobats Duo Extreme, who perform suspended over a tank of water.

Circus spokesman Angie Hook explained: "We are really excited to be able to bring our brand new show to UK for the first time and we hope it will be well received as we pride ourselves on producing high quality, affordable family entertainment.

"There will be something for everyone as we can guarantee laughs, thrills, suspense and lots of action.

"It is important to remember that in a world full of digital and virtual entertainment with computer games and the internet, nothing can ever beat bringing the whole family together to witness the magic of a live performance.

"Several of our acts touring with us in 2018 will be making their UK debut so we will have many new and exciting feats that have never before been seen in this country."

Show times are at 2.30pm and 7pm daily, except on the Monday, which is 2.30pm only.
