AN EXCITING event is set to take place at Glasgow Fort this month.

The Big Kid Circus will take place at the centre for the first time - with performances "guaranteeing thrills, excitement and laughter".

It will be held from April 11 to 21 in the leisure facility's car park.

The show, which is called Illumination, celebrates the extraordinary abilities all circus performers have and includes the first ever all-female "globe of death" act in Europe.
