The UK's largest circus is returning to Jersey next week with a new production that seeks to transport audiences into 1950s Hollywood.
People's Park will be transformed with the glitz and glamour of Hollywood's golden age under a circus big top tent from 8 to 16 June.
Gandeys World Class Productions' annual visit to the Channel Islands forms part of a UK tour and will showcase a new production direct from Hong Kong called 'Hollywood Spectacular'.
The Gandeys family, featuring over 34 international artists from 16 countries, said they were "delighted" to return to Jersey this month.

Tour director Binky Beaumont said the circus had been visiting the island for over 40 years.
He said: "We've been bringing shows like ice shows, theatre productions and the Chinese State Circus to Jersey and Guernsey for a very long time.
"Jersey is a huge highlight for the cast to be opposite the beach in such a beautiful place – it's truly the start of our summer season."
Mr Beaumont said that the show will include beautiful costumes and the return of the romantic flying trapeze act – featuring a triple somersault.
"It rivals any West End show with the amount of lighting, lasers and effects we use," the tour director added.
Mr Beaumont explained the circus had increased the availability of £15 tickets and family packages this year due to the cost-of-living crisis.
The cast will also be fundraising for local charity Jersey Hospice Care at every performance.
