An entire circus is brought to life with original marionette puppets, music and off-the-wall humour.

Da Silva Marionette Circus is coming to town to delight people of all ages, for a one off show at Vera Fletcher Hall, Thames Ditton.

On Saturday, September 20, at 2.30pm, ringmasters, clowns and acrobats that are almost half a century old will fill the specially-crafted big top.

This traditional family show, now in its second generation, has been brought up to date to entertain a modern audience.

Marina Stewart, a teacher who visited the show with her class, said: "Great props. The timings were spot on, and the children enjoyed the circus.

"Very much at their level. A fun afternoon enjoyed by all."
