Fred’s Flying Circus Stars at Staines Prep Summer Fayre

Acclaimed as ‘the best littlest circus in the world’, the star attraction at Staines Prep School’s Summer Fayre in Gresham Road, Saturday 20th June, will be Fred’s Flying Circus in its little big top, 50 foot tent.

Master of Ceremonies and performer Fred Delius will officially open the event at 12.30 and the fun goes on around numerous stalls and side shows until 4.30pm.

Two circus performances, at 1pm and 3pm, promise to provide a delightful melange of juggling, unicycling, trapeze, magic, dance, illusions, clowning around and even a spot from Henry the Mind Reading Dog.

Mill Cottage Farm will be bringing their mobile animal entourage with plenty of lambs, goat kids, piglets, rabbits guinea pigs, chickens, ducks and turkeys for visitors to interact with. Families can enjoy other outdoor attractions including an inflatable slide and a giant tea cups ride

Other activities taking place inside and outside will include a tombola, face painting, book and craft stalls, with plenty of refreshments to sustain visitors who have worked up a thirst playing Beat the Goalie or aiming for the coconut shy or teachers in the stocks. The winner of a grand prize draw will take home a fantastic Nintendo DSI.

The event is organised by Friends of Staines Prep to raise money to support extra activities alongside the School’s varied curriculum. Entry to the Fayre is free for children and £1 for adults. Tickets for the circus (including entry to the Fayre) are expected to be much in demand, costing £4 for children and £6 for adults, available in advance and on the gate, if not sold out.
