Hilarity and stunts at Bexhill street theatre

The second Streets of Bexhill free street theatre festival returned to the town, last Saturday (May 25) bringing hilarity and stunts to entertain an appreciative crowd at Devonshire Square.

Lured by Section 5’s fabulous drummers and endearing giant yak puppet Yeshe, town centre shoppers discovered upbeat juggling stunts by Emmanuel the Magnificent and crazy spinning antics from Circo Rum BaBa’s imp-like Whizzers; a huge hit with children (and pets).

Families had a go at hula-hooping, juggling and uni-cycling thanks to roller-skater Kiki LaHula and Emmanuel the Magnificent.
