CLOWNS and impressive artistes from around the world will stop off at East Links Family Park next week.

Circus promoter Tony Hopkins is celebrating 40 years of promoting his circus shows by bringing Circus Montini to the county.

Since 1983, Tony has promoted and toured family favourites such as Chipperfields Circus, Gerry Cottle’s Circus, the Netherlands National Circus, Billy Smart’s Circus and Circus Fiesta.

Circus Montini’s fastmoving programme, which will stop off at East Links from tomorrow (Thursday) to Sunday, consists of top artistes from around the world, including clowns such as Petro, who has joined the show from Ukraine and now lives in Yorkshire with his family.

The circus then moves on to North Berwick, where it will be in the town's Recreation Park from Monday to Wednesday (May 15).
