When the circus kids came to town

Organised by Edward Peak Middle School’s maths teacher Dave King, the event included children from Northill, Langford, Dunton, Southlands, Caldecote, Lawnside, The Lawns, Sunnyside and Hitchmead Schools.

Youngsters in a variety of circus costumes packed the town centre for a gala procession and there were street performances from London clown Tony Watts, alias Rubberface, stilt walkers and fire eater Pete Belcher with his Touring Inferno act amongst others.

Biggleswade Town Mayor cllr Mrs Alex Armstrong was in attendance and Phillip Haines, then head teacher of Edward Peake said: “It is absolutely brilliant. We could not have asked for better weather and we could not have asked for better support.”
