The Big Top returns to Twickenham Green this month as the famous Zippo’s Circus rolls into town.
The Rastelli family, from Italy, are renowned as clown aristocracy whose pedigree goes back to the winter of 1929.
The new line-up also includes flying aerial act Tropicana Troupe and a new equestrian performance.
Also back by popular demand is one of the stars of Zippos’ 2013 show, the astonishing strongman Hercules.
Once again, the show is presented by Norman Barrett MBE accompanied by his world-famous budgies.
The circus rolls into Twickenham Green on September 18 with performances running until September 23.
Tickets cost £7 child, £9 adult, plus preview shows on opening night at £6.99 for any seat. Visit zipposcircus.co.uk.
