Families arrive at Howard Street nursery, Burnley, and watch clowns from TheatreMobile perform acrobatics, juggling, and a punch and judy show. The crowd enjoys ice creams, picnics, and games, which include a coconut shy, lucky dip, tombola and treasure hunt. The performers lead the crowd to Accrington Road nursery, as children play instruments. At Accrington Road, families watch an afternoon performance, which includes various pranks and more acrobatics. The voice over discusses the activities, how they were possible, and the reason for the fair. |
