Free circus skill workshops have arrived at Bury town centre for the summer.
Families visiting The Rock Shopping Centre can take part in the workshops after the installation of the "Circus House of Fun".
Situated in front of The Range, the attraction features a room of wacky mirrors, a clown-themed tunnel of laughter and a hoop-throwing game.

“We know it can be hard finding something fun and free for the children to do in the summer holidays, but with a different skill to learn each week The Rock is the place to be.”

On Wednesdays, from now until August 23, children can take part in the "circus school" and learn a new skill every week which can include plate spinning, stilts, juggling and diabolo.
The sessions start at 11am and run every 30 minutes.
Each session will last approximately 20 minutes and the last session is at 2:30pm.
Arnold said: “All of the activities are free for our visitors.
“Children will be given a report card to have stamped each week and those who complete at least three sessions will be awarded with a circus school certificate.”
Last week, visitors took part in plate spinning workshops and dozens of children attended throughout the day.
