Youngsters find all the big top skills need practice

WHETHER they were twirling plates or the teetering about on the top of stilts, there was little doubt that youngsters attending a Leamington “Jester Academy” had fun.

The week-long alternative holiday activity ended last week with a show at the Kingsley School in Beauchamp Avenue.

The holiday academy was run for four to 12-year-olds by professional jesters Leanne Willetts and Matt Gupwell who used to entertain at Warwick Castle.

Leanne said: “Juggling, magic, tightrope walking and riding a mini-bicycle will all be demonstrated in our show for family and friends.”

Next year there will be circus skills workshops over five separate holiday weeks. For more information visit www.jesteracademy.co.uk
