Roll up, roll up! The circus is coming to town!

The circus is coming to Wincanton with Charlie Chaplin on April 1st (no, it’s not a joke!) – for an afternoon with a circus skills workshop and a screening of one of the greatest silent films.

Frome’s Circus Stars will be demonstrating all sorts of circus activities for children aged 3-13 to try, including tightrope walking, juggling, and ball walking. Plus there will be home-made lemonade and cakes. The fun starts at 2:30pm in Wincanton Town Hall.

The Circus is a 1928 silent movie classic, written and directed by Charlie Chaplin who stars as a tramp who escapes to a circus only to get into all sorts of trouble with lions and tigers and bears.

It’s the story of an impoverished circus – the ringmaster hires the Little Tramp as a clown, but discovers that he can only be funny unintentionally, not on purpose.
