The circus came to town for Meadow Mayhem, the annual summer fundraiser for Meadow Nursery School in Wokingham.
Children, friends and family of the Murray Road nursery came in their hundreds on Sunday, May 19, to enjoy the fun of the fayre, and the event raised around £2,500.
Youngsters wore fancy dress and enjoyed a range of attractions including a circus skills area, bouncy castle, rides from Sam the Train and face painting.
They were also treated to a jam-packed afternoon full of entertainment from Creative Eye, including a finale with a special character appearance from The Greatest Showman. In all, £2,500 was raised.
Jo Haskins, fundraising co-ordinator for the nursery, said: “Meadow Mayhem is always a very popular event enjoyed by all the children and their families. We all had a brilliant day, there was lots of fun had with something for the whole family, including the addition of live entertainment from Creative Eye. The funds raised will be used towards creating a new playground area for the children to enjoy.”
And the event was supported by house builder David Wilson Homes.
Rob Allen, sales director for the firm, said: “We were delighted to be able to support the Meadow Mayhem event and are pleased to hear that it was such a success.
“As we are creating a new community in the area it was important for us to get behind a well-known celebration which many families in the area enjoy each year.”
