ROLL up, roll up! A Las Vegas themed circus is ready to dazzle.

Circus Vegas arrives in the UK for its first full British tour and will bring its big top to Weymouth next week.

Described as 'a death-defying circus', this new show is a celebration of 250 years of circus performances with organisers promising 'the ultimate show to remember'.

Acts include the Danguir Troupe, who will be performing a high wire and wheel of death stunt which has never been seen before in the UK, with the troupe flying in all the way from Africa for the performance.

A stunt riding team will perform the Globe of Death. A group of riders experience G-force similar to that of a fighter pilot, as they loop vertically and horizontally all while encased in a mesh sphere.

Edy the Clown, a legendary figure in the circus industry, will be keeping the audience amused throughout the show,

On top of this there will be the Aerial Chandelier, Silks, Hula Hoop, Rocking Rolla Rola, a troupe of dancers performing their acts all with unique twists, many of which have never been seen before in the UK.

Circus Vegas is at Lodmoor Country Park, Weymouth, from Thursday, August 23 to Monday, August 27.
