CHILDREN tried their hands at juggling, spinning and clowning around yesterday when a circus skills workshop arrived on Teesside.

Youngsters had the time of their lives at Preston Park Museum, in Eaglescliffe, where Stockton Borough Council countryside wardens held the sessions as part of a summer holiday programme.

Children were able to test their skills at plate spinning, and try out a variety of juggling acts during the afternoon workshop, while others took part in a storytelling session.

Stockton council has organised a number of events at the museum during the six-week holidays to entertain children.
