TRADITIONAL fun with a modern twist is being promised as the circus rolls into Abingdon.

The traditional family circus will be in Ladygrove Meadow from today until Tuesday.

Performer Anke De Boer, 27, said: “We are a circus for all ages and have many acts including our wonder dog and a motorcycle trapeze.”
