The troop of circus performers who are hosting Christmas shows at Sanders Garden World near Burnham-On-Sea during December have arrived on site and been busy putting up their big top tent.
Clowns, trapeze artists, hula hoopers and acrobats from Circus Americano have all been helping assemble and decorate the 12 metre high tent in time for their run of special festive shows at the garden centre.
Peter Burks, Managing Director of Sanders Garden World, said: “It is great that the troop are now on site and preparing for the Christmas shows, which start on December 4th with a VIP preview performance and run through until January 2nd, 2007.”
The deep pink coloured tent seats more than 650 people and has a circumference of 32 metres. It takes two days to construct and dress.
Circus Americano will be at the garden centre for 28 days from December 4. The troupe host shows on weekdays at 5pm and 7.30pm, on Saturdays at 2pm, 5pm and 7.30pm, and on Sundays at 2pm and 5pm.
