Starr line-up delights circus crowds in Telford
They fly through the air, balance on beams and wow the crowds with acrobatics - but this circus also helps disabled and disadvantaged children have an afternoon of fun.
Circus Starr's Raise the Roof show was held at Oakengates Theatre in Telford with clowns, magicians and jugglers taking to the stage twice.
It was part of a 38-show, 19-day countrywide tour which is made even more impressive by the fact that it is done entirely for the benefit of disabled and disadvantaged children and local charities.
Circus Starr is a not-for-profit organisation which runs three tours each year, providing thousands of free seats in a donated ticket programme which asks local businesses to give back to the community by funding tickets. This year's local donors included the Severn Centre, Highley, the Telford branch of Nu: Move estate agents and The Red Lion Inn, Great Chatwell, near Newport.
