CLOWNS, scintillating costumes and jaw dropping acts will light up Evesham with a touch of Vegas.

Housed inside its Stars and Strips Circus Vegas is the glitz and glamour of the vibrant city.

The circus will come to Crown Meadow from Wednesday April 18 to Sunday April 22.

A spokesman for the circus said: "A one-of-a-kind performance, featuring the most talented dare devil performers from across the Globe showcasing this Las Vegas production.

"Because of its diverse and cultural background the United Kingdom was specifically chosen as the location for Circus Vegas. Where better than to celebrate the vibrant, artistic and awe-inspiring nature of the circus.

"Merging Las Vegas Traditions and contemporary styles with extreme stunts and classic clown escapades, audiences will be amazed by the jam-packed Circus Vegas with show-stopping performances that will have you on the edge of your seat.

"Amazing high wire walkers combine with a hula hoop queen, quick-change artistes, wheel of death performers, amazing aerialists & even a strong man who has a 3-ton truck driven over him.

"The ultimate globe of death stunt riders and all presented by an American ringmaster and superstar Mexican clown Eddy.

"Acts include the Danguir Troupe, who will be performing a high wire and wheel of death stunt which has never been seen before in the UK, with the troupe flying in all the way from Africa for the performance.

"Our stunt riding team will also be performing the globe of death. The most death-defying trick ever completed, watch as the group of riders experience G-force similar to that of a fighter pilot, they loop vertically and horizontally all while encased in a mesh sphere. This is one for the petrolheads."

It runs from 5pm until 7.45pm Wednesday to Friday, 2pm until 6pm on Saturday and 2pm until 5pm on Sunday.
