THE circus is heading to a village school as part of a fundraiser.

A pop-up circus company (no animals) will perform two shows within a big-top tent in the school grounds at Longtown Primary School.

The event has been sponsored by Celtic Vale Natural Mineral Water company, which organised a competition for the pupils to design circus themed labels to be printed onto water bottles and then sold on the day.

There will be refreshments available. All money raised will go to the school.

It takes place on Sunday, May 21 and gates open at 11.30am. Tickets are £5 each and must be bought in advance by emailing or calling the PTA on 07946 512758 or haysb@hotmail.co.uk.
