But forget the Moscow State Circus. For it was the youngsters of Bolton Road Methodist Church in Bury who stole the show with their acts.
And pictured walking tall are nine-year-old Rebecca Edwards of Foulds Avenue, Bury, (left), with group leader Nita Worrall, both of whom couldn't resist some clowning around.
Around 70 children, who attend the holiday club, put on their own circus which involved plenty of clowning around.
The children all attended the church's week long holiday club where they enjoyed a fun-packed programme of activities based on the circus theme to learn about some of the Bible's colourful characters.
They included Samson the strongman, Jonah the escape artist, Elijah the fire-eater, Daniel the lion tamer and Moses the ringmaster!
The week ended with a clowns' parade on And a special service at the church brought this year's holiday club to an end.
