A FREE circus skills workshop was staged at Cliffe Castle Museum, continuing a packed programme of Easter holiday activities at the popular council-run venue.
Saturday's event was moved indoors due to heavy rain, but the switch into the museum conservatory failed to deter the crowds.
Visitors could try their hand at skills including diablo, stilt walking, plate spinning and juggling.
"We've had a really good response – with children and families joining in," said Hebden Bridge-based Rachel Hyde, from Aurora's Carnival Entertainment Agency.
"It was busy all afternoon and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves.
"We're really pleased with how it's gone.
"In some ways the rain helps, because it brings people inside."
Dan Palmer, heritage parks officer at Cliffe Castle, was delighted with the event’s success.
"There's been a good number of people – it's been really steady," he said.
"And we've had people of all ages, with grandparents joining in the juggling and other activities!"
