Staff and workers with the Circus of the Orient wasted no time in getting the big top up and ready for yesterday’s (Monday’s) 3.30pm performance.
Having just arrived from Orkney via the early morning ferry, it was all hands on deck at Sir George’s Park in Thurso in preparation for the show.
Four performances are being held over two days.
The circus promises a galaxy of international circus stars from China, Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan, Bulgaria, Romania and France, including the famous Shoalin Wu Shu Warriors, said to be among the greatest exponents of martial arts.
