CIRCUS clowns and fire eaters will be among the attractions at this year's Feckenham Wake.

And with sideshows, a tug-of-war competition and a barbecue also on the cards, the village's entertainments committee are hoping this weekend's spectacular will be as popular as ever.

The event, 'A Wake of Many Colours', will be held on Saturday, from 2pm, on The Square.

And to live up to the title, villagers will be dressing themselves and their sideshows in a huge variety of bright colours, with the event kicking off with a rainbow ribbon dance by members of the village's nursery group.

A sword swallower will then keep the crowds enthralled while a woman lies on a bed of nails and does handstands on broken glass.
