On Monday 10th June, Bristol Radio Lollipop volunteers ran away with the circus for the evening to learn a variety of performance skills.

The workshop was hosted by Tuesday night volunteers Kia Brown and Lauren Rowe who taught fellow lolli-vollies how to spin plates, balance feathers and juggle scarves as part of an action packed two hour training session.

Designed to share the expertise learnt from the Radio Lollipop Conference in March, the circus workshop was offered to all Bristol Lollipop volunteers as an opportunity to learn new skills, socialise and have some fun.

The new performance tricks learnt on the day will be used to entertain the children in the Bristol Royal Hospital for Children as well as at future Lollipop events in the local area.

Speaking of her experience on the day, Monday night volunteer Emma Worley said: “The circus skills session was really enjoyable, interesting and fun. I am relatively new to Radio Lollipop so it was good to meet new people as well as learning a few new skills along the way! I hope to put my new circus skills to good use next year by teaching some children and giving them an enjoyable time.”
